Dan, hang in there please. We really need your depth of knowledge. Bear  with 
us, lots to learn, and lots to learn we don't know about it yet.

Dan and  all,

As a relative newcomer here I can't speak for everyone, but I do  see
EVs as a hobby. To me, that only means that I'm not getting paid  for
it.

As I see it hobbies can have serious results, like HAM radio  for
instance. The good majority of the time spent on HAM radio  is
tinkering with electronics and antennas, but there have been  several
emergencies where they have been the only communication available.  HAM
radio operators also are very vocal advocates for the greater  public
on the balance between public vs corporate vs government control  of
the frequency spectrum.

This is the parallel that I see to our  group. People come to it with
many different motivations, some for the  tinkering, some to sell
services, some to advance the cause and some for  the environment. What
is common between us is that we all think electric  vehicles are a very
real answer to some very serious questions.

Dan  your safety questions are important and always welcome. As I'm
working on  my car I spend a lot of time thinking about safety,
especially that of  everyone else on the road. It is important to
account for the fault  conditions, weather,  as well as what will be
your normal operating  condition. In my mind, there isn't a bad
question about safety. EVs already  have an uphill battle for
acceptance, safety concerns need to be designed  out as far as
possible.

Dan, I do hope you stick around. I'd like to  see your three wheeler on the 
road.
