Starting the trip
I finally decided on what kind of electric vehicle to build. I had thought about it for a long time, and felt a little overwhelmed by a hybrid car. There were just too many design decisions that needed to be made right from the get-go, and I didn't feel confident about my judgement. Instead, I just bought this: http://cgi.ebay.fr/moto-suzuki-GSXE-1100-cm3-bon-etat....

It seems that a motorcycle is a much better choice than a car because being lighter it takes less motor and batteries, being more open it takes less cooling, and being a motorcycle it's much less complicated. Only one traction wheel, no airbag, no electronics, just pure power.
