This workshop guides you through the complete process of converting a vehicle from an internal combustion engine to electric power. Lectures are combined with hands-on shop sessions. In just 6 days students will be accelerated through the learning and building process that normally takes people months or years! Learn what tools to get and how to use them as well as the principles behind good component layout, battery rack and box design and construction and wiring, with hands-on experience installing the components. You will also learn how to apply these principles to various types of vehicles, and about the differences between AC and DC drive systems as well as different types of batteries and recommendations on the latest and best components. Whether you are planning to build your own EV, start a conversion business or even want to know more about the parts in your factory built EV, this class will put you ahead of the rest.

There have since been many new developments in electric bicycles. There are so many choices for potential owners that it's easy to get overwhelmed. Do you want to buy a purpose-built bike, install a conversion kit, or build the whole thing from scratch? What about motor, batter, and power controller selection? Do you want a pedal-assist system, power-on-demand hybrid, or a dedicated electric motorcycles?  What are the local ordinances governing the use of electric bikes?
