If you want to slow down the motor, reduce power; If you want to speed up the motor, crank up the power. But what is the mechanism behind controlling the motor’s speed? How to Increase (or Decrease) Electric Motor Speed Controlling electric motor speed is as “simple” as controlling ...
Normal idle speed: 200 rpm The engine spins all this torque through the driveshaft into the high-voltage generator. The electricity produced is then sent to the four massive electric motors, located in the trucks. The Trucks: Propulsion & Suspension The trucks have several jobs. HowStuffWorks...
Typically the first action a criminal takes after identifying the vehicle is to look inside for valuables. To make your vehicle as little of a target as possible, make it very easy to look inside the vehicle. This means keeping your rear seats folded down when not in use. This simple step...

Imagine that we would like to create a machine that can simply fly straight upward. Let's not even worry about getting back down for the moment — up is all that matters. If you are going to provide the upward force with a wing, then the wing has to be in motion in order to creat...
so they don't need six, seven or even 10 gears as crutches to help them accommodate different vehicle speeds or loads. Instead, most EVs use a single-speed reduction gearbox to convert high rotational speed of the electric motors (often as high as 20,000 RPM) to more sane road going sp...
#1 – Limited Speed and RPM When active, your car may exhibit a variety of symptoms. Limp mode limits the amount of power to your engine and transmission. RPMs may be limited (usually to less than 3,000), and your driving speed will often be limited to about 35 to 45 MPH, making it...
Despite the end of the war, the doddering mogul stubbornly continued to manage an increasingly troubled Ford Motor Company until his family insisted he step down. That came in 1945, when he handed the reins to grandson Henry Ford II, who would hold them for the next 33 years, most of ...
A lithium battery is the heart of any electric bicycle. Your motor is useless without all of that energy stored in your battery. Unfortunately though, a good ebike battery is often the hardest part to come by – and the most expensive. With a limited number of electric bicycle battery supp...
