Hi Eric,
I'm about to buy a little 538cc suzuki hatchback, it is a little two
seater and it weighs 530kgs as an ICE... The ICE is good and I plan to
use it for pizza deliveries, but when the engine eventually carc's it,
I'll have the money to convert it to electric too... So by then I'll
(hopefully!) have my EV sierra as well as an EV hatch... 

My question is, how much does the citicar weigh?  Would I be looking at
a similar sized motor?  How many amps do you pull in this thing?  Since
originally at 36v you would have had 2.5 hp... and you said now you have
double the amps, I'm guessing about 100amps?

Just dreaming again... don't mind me! :-)

Cheers,
Rob.
