Project: Single Person Electric Vehicle

[PDenbigh]

Pete, that's really cool! My dad and I have been kicking around converting one of the Metros to full-electric, but so far it's been all talk.

PLEASE keep us posted on your progress. My guess is that if you built it and wrote a good, informative book it could probably pay for itself.

There are some electric Metros around. Google should help you there. I had origionally set out to build an electric Triumph Spitfire. However, after doing the math of the GVWR I couldn't get enough juice in that baby to make it super useful without spending a pretty good amount of money. ($8k).

This thing that I'm building needs to be light. The simple design and 3 wheels are for that goal.
