HISTORY of Owosso Litestar #21

Bela's modification photos in April of 2011

This vehicle can be switched from gas to electric and reverse when needed and hopefully charging the batteries without Plug In, since the hub motor can be switched to as generator. We are still testing.

The Hub Motor will be wired when the body is on from 7.2 Kw Lithium Batteries which is about 150 lbs.

You can see the speed controller on the left, under the seat.
