Re: (ET) ELEC-TRAK in the UK Alltrax (do tell)

[Jim Coate <jbc coate org>]

OK, I have a big mouth so...

Alltrax makes golf cart and industrial type controllers. I know their 
work indirectly, as the same folks were behind the DCP line of 
controllers for on-road electric vehicles, such as what is under the 
hood of my truck. Alltrax is basically a competitor to Curtis (but with 
 a much friendlier attitude).

A little while back I contacted them about the availability of a sep-ex 
controller - one that would control both the armature and field windings 
of the ET motors, so as to retain reversing, regen braking, field 
weakening, etc. They do have one in development, expected out in a few 
months. I'm sure they will make a formal announcement when it is 
complete and the detailed specs are known.

Unlike Curtis controllers, the Alltrax models are all programmable (via 
PC interface) and waterproof. And as astute readers of the EV list will 
know, they have one or more E15's so can actually test the controller on 
an ET.

Their web page is at http://www.alltraxinc.com/
and yes, they do have a Canadian distributor (Canadian Electric Vehicles).

I *want* one of these so I will post as I learn more.
