new from Alabama

Hello everyone,

I've been fabricating for a couple of years now as a hobby and built a couple of things. my last project was a 'campground cruiser'. it was, unfortunately, stolen when we moved to our new house. I built it with a clone 6.5 hp engine... but i'm thinking about building another one with an electric system. Which is why i'm here... came across this site researching electric motors.

i'll share some build pics and finished product pics of my first campground cruiser, so you'll have an idea of what i'm talking about:

one for size reference:

and then, of course... the finished product:

this site looks to be a great resource. i look forward to learning a lot!!

thanks.

Welcome to the forum. There are a few guys here who know about electric motors, so dont be shy to ask questions. I like your fist build!

Guy that is the coolest camp ground cruiser I ever saw.Just strap a keg on her and you got it made.

Nice work!

What's with the human head in the open cooler in the background? What exactly are you cruising campgrounds for?

j/k Welcome!

Nice work on the quad! Great to see more Alabama on the site too. We can almost rival the Canadians now...

Got another Bama member here too. I more into mini bikes though. Nice work on the stolen quad campground terrorizing machine. My wife needs one of those for around the yard. If her husband only had your skills.

thanks hack... once i had the frame sandblasted, i couldn't decide what color to powdercoat. So... i painted it primer white(spray cans). pretty simple.
