Has anyone looked at electric drive kits? any information? I am getting a second flat windscreen version (Mako) and the engine is dead, so a project considering electric drive Title: Re: electric drive kits Post by: radekp81 on Tuesday, 26 July, 2016, 07:48:18 AM Hey Fred,
I was considering the same when I was doing my build (kinda wish I did). Anyway Sterling Sports Cars made one: http://www.sterlingsportscars.com/Electric_Sterling.html Also there was a company in India that wanted to produce them: http://www.autoblog.com/2014/12/09/supernova-ev-first-indian-electric-car/ Anyway it's something that's been done quite a few times (somewhere there was a video of a pretty quick sterling or Nova EV running the quarter). You could alternatively look for EV kits made for beetles as a starting point (though many of them contain just low-hp motors). Radek.

It was a $600.00 USD gearbag, and landed at my place it cost just over $2,000.00 AUD. Mind, this was about 8 years ago, so figures and even customs has changed. Your mileage may vary.
