I MADE THE THROTTLE ON MY ELECTRIC CAR AND IT'S PRETTY BAD

EV Channels Review

This episode of Rich Rebuilds focuses on the fabrication and integration of the throttle system for their electric rat rod project. The builder, "Uncle Rich," details the process of adapting a motorcycle twist throttle to control the electric motor, highlighting the "ghetto" yet functional nature of the solution. The review emphasizes the challenges faced, including modifying the pedal assembly, extending leverage points, and adding a secondary return spring for proper operation. While the aesthetic of the welds is acknowledged as crude, the functionality is confirmed, with the throttle, ignition, lights, and turn signals all working. The video also touches upon the unexpected prospect of road testing the vehicle for a production company, a task that seems to unnerve the builder given the car's initial "for the lulz" construction. The episode concludes with anticipation for the next installment, which will feature the vehicle's first test drive.
