> the car of the future i'm building my own. i already ride an ebike everywhere and i'm working on some modifications to extend my range to what i used to be able to reach in my ICE vehicle. i have been ebiking for a while to force myself into a healthier lifestyle. more recently, i was inspired by sun trip[0][1] to explore the concept of a light electric vehicle (lev) powered by a combination of solar and human power. since its diy, you can bet that any "connected" parts of the machine will be running libre software and the most open hardware i can get my hands on. why depend on car companies when i can bypass them and buy parts wholesale? electric drive trains aren't very complex[2], especially the sort that you would put on an ebike. like, a basic understanding of electronics and the ability to follow some instructions is all you need.
