Nearly There!

18 Jan 2020

Sometime very soon I will reach the magical 100,000 points mark in the Element14 Community.

Congratulations on the accomplishment. Like driving in the car when the odometer rolls over from 99,999.

I have toyed with the idea of building my own electric vehicle for a few years now, but mechanical engineering just isn't my thing. Maybe it would be fun to try. Not sure about setting a new speed record though, nowadays I think 30 mph is getting a bit fast, especially when my wife drives - 30 mph seems much faster when she is driving.

I have thought of buying a three wheel tricycle and electrifying it, but I am tending more towards buying and existing electric tricycle and just pimping it up a bit.

Perhaps do an Eva Håkansson and build your own EV in your garage, then go on to set a world land speed record in it

For those that are interested, Eva's documenting her latest build 'Green Envy' on Facebook:

My friend got a Tesla last year - I think Element14 must have got the address wrong !
