Homemade Electric Buggy, Ep 3: Powertrain - LiFePo4, ME1616

In this video I fit the powertrain components into the chassis of my homemade electric buggy. This buggy will be powered by a 55 kWp (72 hp) ME1616 motor from Motenergy, and a 14 kWh LiFePO4 battery pack. LiFePo4 cells are much safer than lithium ion and lithium polymer cells, and last much longer, up to 2000 cycles. Check out my blog for more details about the parts that I used and how they were installed:
