So now it's September in 2006 and I loved the project. The bus ran great and got me back and fourth to work all summer and fall of last year. However batteries are a chemical reaction and once the clock starts tickin, there's no stopping them. So, I didn't want the bus to sit all winter wasting away, so I sold it on Ebay. The new owner lives in Georgia and is very very happy with it.

96volts worked fine for the bus, had a little more pull than the original motor. I found myself taking easy roads, following the river in an effort to streach the distance. I got fooled once by a recovery charge, ran out of juice right in front of my sisters house. Perfect! Note to self. Recharge.

We've moved on to BioDiesel! Our VW Beetle is a diesel and my new VW Vanagon Syncro is in the process of being converted to Diesel. Stay tuned...
