Basically, it's an electric motor with finely adjustable calibration. Works fine, but not cheap.

Cable X at 500 eur ie GBP 380,- is well priced. Saw some guys here in NLD use the below components. Motor should be 2000 rpm to get up to 185 Km (120 Mph).

The controller is a kit by Arduino which needs power supply and a signaal to give the right power/frequency to the before mentioned motor. This hobby kit will cost around 50 GBP but don't count yr hours!
