The Timobile I is totally
hand made. The chassis is made with aluminium. Each piece has been machined.
The electric motor has been
salvaged. It is a car ventilation engine.
You can have a look at the electric
motor specifications.
The battery used is a classical
car battery (40Ah).

Dashboard
The seat is made of polystyrene
and a 5 points safety harness has been installed for the security of
the pilot.
The Timobile has a reverese
gear, but doesn't have any brakes.
But in order to slow down
the car, taking into account the reduction unit (23), the young pilot
just has to remove his feet from the accelerator pedal !
Anyway, it doesn't prevent the parents from being very careful in the
descents, because the car and the pilot have an average weight of 50
Kg...
