The electric movearound was named after the walkabout, a rite of passage engaged in by aboriginal Australian males (or maybe not). I decided to name this the electric movearound to reflect its more traditional American roots in moving around using electricity and with a nod to the quintessentially “American” Hoveround. This is my project to devise a means of transporting myself intra-city distances with an electric-motorized device.
I've got a few ideas about this, but I'm planning on focusing my first efforts into the conversion of a Honda PA50 that I inherited whose Internal Combustion Engine, or ICE, is a PITA, or Pain In The Ass.
The other option is making a utility bicycle using a hub motor for the “DriveTrain”.
Potential avenues of attack include replace current engine (with single large brushed motor or smaller mounted brushless or hub motors).
