How can i decrease the initial acceleration on an EV tricycle's throttle ?
To change the initial acceleration on the electric tricycle's throttle, you can add a capacitor or resistor in the circuit that controls the voltage applied to the motor. By adding these components, you can restrict the initial voltage that is delivered to the motor and slow down the rate at which it starts to move. You can start by adding a capacitor in parallel to the potentiometer. This will act as a low-pass filter and reduce the rate at which the voltage changes. You can experiment with different values of capacitance until you find one that provides the desired amount of slowing down. Alternatively, you can add a resistor in series with the potentiometer. This will reduce the overall voltage that is applied to the motor and slow down the rate of acceleration. You can experiment with different values of resistance until you find one that provides the desired amount of slowing down. It's important to note that changing the circuit may void the warranty on the tricycle and could cause other issues

Electric bike for daily commute
An electric motorcycle may be a good option for your daily commute, as they produce zero emissions and can save you money on fuel costs in the long run. Some popular models include the Zero FX, Super73, and the Energica Eva. However, it's worth noting that electric motorcycles tend to be more expensive than their ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) counterparts, especially when new. If you're looking for a cheap motorcycle, you might consider looking for a used electric motorcycle. Some online marketplaces like Craigslist, Ebay, and these kind of page have a variety of used electric motorcycle options available at a lower price point. You can also check with local dealerships if they have any used electric motorcycle in stock. Another option is to consider a hybrid motorcycle, which combines both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. These can offer the best of both worlds, with the low emissions and instant torque of an electric motor, as well as the range and refueling convenience of a gasoline engine. You can also consider a scooter, they are smaller and more agile, scooters can be a great option for navigating through traffic and are often less expensive than motorcycles.

Prepaid meter and essential load
you may need to rewire the sub-DB and/or the granny flat non-essential loads so that they are not connected to the battery system during normal operation. One solution could be to install a separate breaker for the non-essential loads, which can be turned off during periods of low PV input or darkness, so that the batteries are not drained. Additionally, you could install a monitoring system to monitor the battery state of charge and the usage of the non-essential loads, so that you can take action if the battery state of charge drops below a certain level.
