Longbike: Electric moped with washing machine motor for engine

Posted By: Bharat BhushanSharma | Nov 24 2008

Innovation always takes us beyond a realm of thought. Yet, innovation in itself is meaningless, until a mind backs it with a people oriented, consumable intention. Here is a unique intention which from Max Angelma, which takes up the issue of innovation from a washing machine, to the downtown garage, for a moped. The engine placed on the floor of the "longbike" is made from a motor of a washing machine. Powered from a 24 V 550W DC motor, the electric moped runs on a two-piece battery of 12V and 18ah and manages a top speed of over 30kmh. The longbike does over10km on a single battery charge, so when electric bikes are becoming a custom, such DIY creations cannot be looked upon and deserve a mention for their efficiency and the sheer make.
