Electric Vehicle Conversion Kit

How can I make an electric vehicle conversion without using the transmission?

I would like to convert my 99 Toyota Tacoma 2wd electric battery. Every conversion kit that I have encountered is to bolt an electric motor to the existing transmission. I would like to remove transmission and electric motor assembly directly to the drive train. I've heard this can be done successfully, but little information is available. Someone has had any experience or ideas?

I like your way of thinking – I agree to get rid of the tranny is a victory. However, people on the list of VE http://www.evdl.org/ We talked at length, and experience I can say that there are several ways to go about it, and all have commitments. The problem is that most DC motors continued not only have the pair of diffusion both highway cruising at 60 mph and the mountain goat steep uphill. You also need to find how to use power in reverse. # 1 AC unit. This makes for a very complicated and expensive controller, but a cheaper engine. CA can do it all – mountain goat, highway cruising behind regenerative braking. To buy a commercial motor / driver package you are looking at $ 8000 and up. Ouch. # 2. forget about the highway. Using a lower final drive gearing to climb hills, and simply not go faster than 45/50/whatever. # 3. forget about the hills. Use a unit of account final height that leaves you with no mountain goat. # 4. Oversize the DC motor. Place a 9 "in a vehicle that normally uses a 7" on the motor, or 11 "where you'd use a 9". # 5. Two sets of motors, DC motors and switch them to 'set' a 'parallel'. Almost all rail vehicles is in this way. Series for mountain climbing, parallel to the highway. An alternative to "parallel" is "one of motor ", ie about a short engine, the simplest change, but less power available. # 6 DC motor with independent excitation. The control is more complicated and the engines are much harder to find, you may have to take a series of DC motor and pay a motor rewind shop to the fields of SEPEX. We still have to argue "reverse". Without a transfer, you need to reverse the DC electric motor. In other words, reverse the polarity of any in the field or the armature. You will need some type of physical switches. It's the same type of switches that need to select series / parallel. Could be possible to apply all that together in a large drum change of some kind, similar to a tram "K" of the driver. All this is going to require some engineering, especially for the final right gear ratio. That is one reason why many conversions used transmissions, simplifies all that as you can computing correct deficiencies by changing gears. This would be a coverage, maintaining temporarily until you find transsexual how to make the whole vehicle what you want in 4th (direct) art, and then dump the tranny.
