Most people who followed $CYDY remember March 30, 2021. The FDA publicly stated that CytoDyn's claims about leronlimab were "misleading and not supported by the data", no benefit was shown in COVID-19 treatment trials. The stock dropped 25%+ that day.

What happened afterward was a class action lawsuit covering investors who held $CYDY between March 27, 2020 and March 30, 2022.

A $500,000 settlement has been reached and terms are now submitted to the court for approval.

Who qualifies?

Anyone who held $CYDY during the class period and suffered losses from the alleged misrepresentations about leronlimab's effectiveness for HIV and COVID-19.

Can I still apply?

Yes, you can submit your application now and it will be processed once claims filing officially opens after court approval.

If you were damaged by this don't forget to check your eligibility. GL!

EV Conversion Simulator

electr0motiv's Simulator is a simplified digital twin of a functional EV system schematic that demonstrates how an electric vehicle's components interoperate. I've built this 3D interactive experience to help members of our EV conversion global community understand the core principles of an EV system architecture. This is a companion to Primer which takes people through the conversion process end to end.

At IBM, I built networks that connected communities around new technologies. That's what electr0motiv is: a paid member network and innovation hub that makes EV conversion easier and more affordable. We have more than 200 members and 63 builds across 8 cooperative clusters.

Vespa citta conversion

Hi y'all.

I was thinking about converting an old vespa citta to an EV.

I have an old Vespa laying around so I wondered what to do with it.

My thought was removing the motor, sprockets, exhaust etc. Retrofitting a hub motor on the rear wheel and mounting the battery on the back. The controller could be mounted in place of the original motor.

Another option would be a mid drive motor but I think aligning the electric motor with the sprockets would be a hassle.

You guys think it could be done as easily as I'm thinking?

The hub motor I'm thinking about is a 72v 5000W.
