Eddie

I have a Radio Shack Golden Arrow, circa approx mid 90s, I need to get new rubber, not sure of the scale (how to find out?), is there a good place for regular old parts for these things? This is electric. Just invested $26 in new pack and charger so I'd like to get this thing up to par for my kid so I can get a gas powered! WoooHOO

Answer
I don't know if they have direct replacements for the Radio Shack cars but try Tower Hobbies.
THey have a LARGE selection of tires &* wheels

how can i build my own fast electric gokart (homemade project)?

Sam

could you give me a list of things to buy that are good:
e.g

motors a fast one

big batteries (car battery)

steeringwheels, wheels and steering axls

Answer
Unless you can weld your going to have to buy the frame already made, and if you do that you might as well just buy the entire go-kart. Heres a thought you may or may not want to explore, find one of them larger kids power wheels, many people throw them out once the battery is dead. Do a little cutting and modify it how you want, splice in a few extra batteries for more power, toss some old bike tire rubber around the wheels, now your rocking a stylish lil fast cart. Sure its plastic lol, but for around 50 bucks for batteries and a little searching thru craigslist, you can have some fun with it.

When do you think there will be electric cars on the road?

best electric cars of 2011 image

bob b

I mean like when EVERYONE will have an electric car, and when they cost the same, or even less than the cars we have now.
what year?

Answer
2040 or 2050 at a rough guess :p


Plug in electric cars like the Volt and a new Prius that can go 40-60 miles on batteries will be out by 2011 or so. I expect that by 2020 there will be affordable plug in models for the general consumer. Another 10 years for almost all cars bought to be electric, and then another 10 or so years to phase out the petrol ones.

How Much do Electric Cars Cost?

Erin Jones

there are several new electric cars cumming out the next few years. I love the idea of electric cars and i would love to own one. unfortunately i could never afford a Tesla roadster or something like that. what are some affordable electric cars or cheep electric cars for sale that i could possibly buy in the next couple of years.
also is there a good source for finding information on electric cars online

Answer
As an electric car owner i know it can be difficult to make a decision on buying an electric car. since electric cars haven't been around for that long most of us don't know much about electric cars and this makes it difficult to make a informed decision regarding a electric car purchase.

you are right in that there is several new electric cars soon to be released and some that are already available. hear is a few affordable electric cars that you should look into.

The GEM e2 $7,495 MSRP
this inst what most people are looking for when they want to buy a "electric car" but it is very affordable is this is the sort of car you are looking for.

The Ford Focus Electric $ ??,???
ford has not announced a official price for this car but many believe it will be in the lower 30K range.
if you look at some of the pictures of the inside of this car you will find it is absolutely beautiful. and loaded with technology

Mitsubishi I-MiEV price < $30,000
Mitsubishi has also yet to announce the price of the upcoming I-MiEV but they claim it will cost less than 30,000 the rumor is that this car will have excellent acceleration even when compared to gasoline engines

Honda Fit EV $29,990
Take your typical Honda Fit and remove the engine gas pipe and and gas tank. replace those with electric engine and lithium ion batteries and you've got the Honda Fit EV. there are other differences as well but the EV will be very similar to the Honda Fit gasoline

Nissan Leaf $25,280
this is the car that in my opinion most other electric car companies will model there cars after. it has more features than most of the electric cars on the market and cost much less. i believe ford might be able with the Nissan leaf as far as features go but most believe the ford focus electric will not be nearly as affordable as the Nissan leaf.

Chevrolet Volt $32,780
i personally own this car and i love it. it was one of the first electric cars released and unlike most of the electric cars around it has been Time Tested and has proven to be a great car. i also love that you can use gasoline if you need to!
