Get a low cost Electric vehicle and Save Money
You can get free fuel, and also eliminate car insurance, gas
cost, registration fee, plate fee, and parking fees. We had
2 cars and canceled insurance on one saving over $150 a
month saved 60- a month on gasoline. Yearly savings over
$2000. plus, savings on car maintence.
Most trips daily are only a few miles.
Picture a vehicle that does the above and cost you as little
as $200. And | am talking about a vehicle that has a roof
and 4 sides, so you are sheltered from rain, snow and
wind.
And you don’t have to pedal it.
Go on YouTube and look at a video on PEBL a small
personal car. It is like a golf cart on steroids. But is all
enclosed and even has a heater for winter. It is an electric
and needs to be charged up. Depending on how many
batteries you put in it the range can be 20-100 miles. In
most states if you do not exceed 20 MPH you may use
bike lanes and sidewalks which are much safer and there
is seldom any traffic jam Your small E vehicle can go
around traffic jams.
The speed of personal vehicles can be up to 40 MPH.
Of course, you buy a PEBL or other personal manufactured
personal vehicles for several hundred dollars and up.
But you can create your own personal vehicle yourself
for under $200. It won’t go as fast or be as fancy as a PEBL
but you can go, depending on your motor, up to 30 MPH
and have a range of a hundred miles.
You can make a personal vehicle that is even enclosed if
you desire from sheets of plastic, plexiglass for windshield
and even a flexible solar panel roof which can be left
outside or removed and set in a south facing window to
charge the batteries. This can give you free fuel. You
could also use an inexpensive charger to charge the
batteries on dark days costing just a few cents.
For the absolute lowest cost E vehicle, you can use
bicycle parts. Many people already have a bike or Trike
(adult size) and it is very easy to add an electric motor to
it. There are kits available on Amazon for as little as $60
that allow you to make your bike or trike into an E vehicle.
Just add batteries (which strap on) and you can do many
of those near to home trips without cost.
You can also make a roof and sides out of plastic sheeting
or even tarp material with a Plexiglas windshield. Those
items can be cut to size then fastened onto a pex flexible
pipe frame. The roof can be curved in an arc at the top
and a straight piece of pex at the bottom. This can be
fastened easily and inexpensively by zip ties. Stick on
Velcro or drilling a few holes is one method of fastening
these things. You can use Velcro for a latch on the door.
If an inexpensive tarp is used it can also be flexible, so no
hinge is needed. If you choose to use plastic sheeting a
few holes drilled with zip ties, or self stick Velcro are
lightweight and inexpensive method. You can also get
fancy.
If one is going to use this vehicle in the winter a plywood
floor can be hung on a PVC frame and a camping heater
used for heat. Many people may not want to go out in the
winter because of the cold but if you have a three-or four-
wheel personal vehicle it would be useable. Heavy
unplowed snow stops almost everybody. You can make
these four wheel drive which can navigate snow better
than your car.
Your vehicle can be stored inside, and four sides folded
flat and the canopy also if you have a slip release on the
frame.
You can add a key to the battery circuit for security, and
also secure the vehicle using a wire lock. Some folks just
take out the battery.
On the following pages are a few pictures of EVs (Electric
Vehicles) The first one below, my favorite, is the PEBL
Go on YouTube and look at a video on PEBL (above) a
small personal car.
The commercial car manufacturers are obsessed with
making excessive profits and have failed to produce a
reliable electric vehicle affordable to working people.
They have also neglected to use solar panels in the roof
which would allow the car to charge wherever it is during
daylight hours.
