I was really bad about keeping up this blog becasue I just posted things on my facebook account and DIY EV:

I converted the trike to electric mearly to learn and act as a stepping stone for a car project. The Leadwing project was based on some very good, but old 24V AGM aircraft batteries that I got a really good deal on. With 196V and 880amps available from the pack and only one small steering wheel the performance of the bike was predictably scary. All the local drag strips prohibited trikes so I was never able to see what I could get on the 1/4 mile. Anyway, this winter the parts from that project were harvested to go into the Miata.
