Abstract
There is provided an all-electric powered vehicle. The all-electric powered vehicle includes a support structure. This support structure defines a portion configured as a tool platform configured to support a tool module. The self-contained battery module is removably mounted on the support structure. A pair of wheel sets is coupled to the support structure, with each wheel set including two wheels. One wheel of each wheel set is rotably coupled on each side of the support structure. An AC induction motor is mounted on the support structure and is coupled to at least one wheel and the battery module. A motor controller, including a DC/AC inverter is coupled to the AC induction motor and the battery module.
