Motor Bike Back Side Here is a very nice electric motorcycle built by a friend. He started out with an older pump motor and just upgraded to the Mars ME0708 motor with an AXE4844 controller and the DC to DC for running the headlights. He built this motorcycle to run from home to work about 10 miles away and is running sealed lead-acid batteries. Very nicely built bike! I am happy to see it running after the motor change.

2-4-08...Few more test miles on new controller, got full refund on the previous controller even though it was technically out 20 days. Wow! Alltrax and Carl at EV Drives.com rock!!.. got some great suggestions for changes on my schematic for the bike... Thank you!...Recently, At the local store; A couple guys parked next to me say(new york accent),"It's something like off james bond, wow, what year is that?" I say "1981"... they say "wow I didn't even know they made them" "48 volts, wow... turn it on so I can hear it." ...I say "you can't hear it"... his buddy says, "hey,hey,it is on!"... I ride away... Too funny !!... Purchased as a junker hurricane bike. Selected for it's classic looks and powerful brakes. I added bodywork to make it look like an '81. Factory fairing and Honda-line saddle bags.

ME0709 A gentleman came to us asking for help with his project because he was frustrated with the wheelchair drive he had been working with for a few weeks. He is now a happy man running a Mars ME0709 Motor with an AXE4844 Controller, White Rodgers 586 Reversing Contactors and a Quick Charge Battery Charger. Here is link to his video on youtube.

"It's the nerdiest thing I have ever built but its for taking to the campgrounds with the wife because we are too lazy to walk everywhere."
AMPhibian 1972 Attex 6 wheel drive amphibious vehicle, now electric.
This 6X6 is running an Alltrax AXE4845 controller, a Yale 7.5 inch Series Wound DC motor, running on 48 volts with a top speed of 20mph and a range of 10 miles.

After looking at the pictures he sent me I was very impressed with how clean the conversion is. To read more about this please visit his listings at.

EZ-Go After Market Sales; Golf and EEV
The golf car after-market has grown over across the US and now we are seeing the EFV used for short runs to town.
GM NEV Markets / Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) is an American term for a speed limited battery electric vehicle (25-35 miles per hour in the U.S.A), restricted by law to operation on roads with speed limits not exceeding 35-45 mph (56-72 km/h) These speed restrictions, combined with a typical driving range of 30 miles (48 km) per charge.

To satisfy requirements for operation on streets, NEV's are equipped with three-point seat belts, windshields and windshield wipers, running lights, headlights, brake lights, reflectors, rear view mirrors, and turn signals.They must be licensed, and the driver must be licensed. Because airbags are not required the NEV cannot travel on highways or freeways.
EZ-Go People Movers, Special Transportation
Special transportation using electric vehicles has tripled over the last three years. Alltrax provides performance controllers to several major customers who require more torque and flexible features for a demanding application
Fork Lift Industrial and Process Equipment
The industrial material handling markets require higher performance controllers.  This includes re- builders, OEM, and special design applications.

The Alltrax controllers' thermal and power performance is better than most manufacturers' requirements.
Lamborghini Golf Fleet and OEM applications
Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and fleet golf applications require a reliable cost effective controller.  Alltrax provides flexible tools and adapters for many golf car
vehicles.

The many golf cars platforms, ground keeping utility vehicles, and multi person cars require electric motor controllers that can serve many different needs.
boat Marine After Market & OEM
Applications Lear 204 made in California
The marine market is a new and emerging opportunity for those who compete against the hydrocarbon driven boats.  Advanced motors, battery technology, and environmental water quality concerns have provided boating enthusiasts an electric alternative.

Harsh environments, high customer expectations, and flexible design requires high performance and high quality products.

Solar boat Solifleur, Switzerland 1995 While most boats on the water today are powered by diesel engines, and sail power and gasoline engines are also popular, it is perfectly feasible to power boats by electricity too.
Passenger solar boat Solifleur, Switzerland 1995Electric boats were very popular from the 1880s until the 1920s, when the internal combustion engine took dominance. Since the energy crises of the 1970s, interest in this quiet and potentially renewable marine energy source has been increasing steadily again, especially as solar cells became available, for the first time making possible motorboats with an infinite range like sailboats. The first practical solar boat was probably constructed in 1975 in England (see Electrical Review Vol 201 No 7 12 August 1977). With the present state of technology, many[citation needed] believe that the time is right for the increased usage of electric or solar boats.
Edison

Thomas Edison an electric car in 1913
Driven by high oil prices, the traditional EV market has expanded exponentially.  From conversions to OEM applications, the motor and controller combination provide the
customer solutions using proven and viable technologies.

High customer expectations and harsh environments have customers seeking high performance alternatives for on-road vehicles.  The company founder designed our products for racing applications, thus the company was born "At the Race Track"
