Re: (ET) I was woundering.



I agree with the concept, and we are an inventive bunch... but unless someone is looking for a task, plenty of 21st century controllers already exist that have proven by use in golf carts and industrial settings. Curtis being the standard for electronic controllers in this size, and AllTrax being the new kid on the block (although I haven't checked if AllTrax has a model to match the ET needs).

Hi
It seems to me that ETs with 21st century electronics, some TLC,  new
bearing, grease and new rear battery boxes could last another 30 years
without a problem. Also with a source of new electric works :-)  more ET
could be rescued and perhaps generate more interest in the great EV world.
It seems to me that guys with EVs would be very interested in electric
landscaping and snow removal etc. So, I just though I'd send this up as a trial balloon to see how much
interest it would generate.
Harry Landis and/or Rod Hower would you consider taking Rod's controller
design and modifying (I suspect this is just a simpler version of current
design) it for a E12 and B-145 and then either selling the CKT board, the
plans or the entire unit. I would be willing to buy one (if it's the plan) or several (if it's the
board or the entire assembly) of these and in fact fund the development of
the fist prototype. I think there a real need to update, at least our
"working ETs".
