In Reply to: Electric Motors Vs Fosil Fuel for Bo Jest posted by Rob on October 20, 2003 at 16:42:18:
: Hey gang,
: I am currently underway in my venture to build the Bo Jest... I was thinking of installing Electric Motor(s) instead of a fosil fuel engine. Does anyone know what, if any, the comparison would be between these two. i.e. is a 15 h.p. electric equivalent to a 15 h.p diesel.
