The School Electric Vehicle Race

The School Electric Vehicle Race

In Victoria and other parts of Australia many schools compete in RACV breakout and other races. These have been established to promote new technology and encourage students to learn these technologies. There are three main categories

1. Peddle power only
2. Peddle/Electric or Petrol/Electric
3. Electric/Petrol

The easiest and most popular race to date is the pure peddle race, this is because the difficulty of obtaining efficient electric motors and petrol engines. EVS has recently added new motors to our product line which are designed especially for these type of races. We have also introduced a special competitors discount for schools and education facilities only, please ask about this. So if you are in need of electric motors, batteries, controllers, throttles and all EV parts, give us a call and see how we can help.
