    EVER wondered what happens when you put an electric motorcycle motor into a rat rod? Well, one car fanatic has the answer. Rich Benoit, a CZcamsr from Gloucester, Massachusetts, has created something that he says has never been done before. Rich told Truly: “No one has ever taken an electric motorcycle motor and put it in a car - it’s beautiful.”

    I love that he just kept the bike handle for throttle and then put cables down to it!

    Holy Moly those welds though! HAHA. Sweet ride none the less. I love it. This is the future. Play kids! Play with your toys and take them apart. Make new things with old. It's a free world. Save money making even cooler things. Hook up a inverter on the house and now you park and power the house when the power on the house goes out. Genius.

    You trend high on "electric rat rod" searches. Your accelerator is a bit odd, but it works. You have defiantly built one of the coolest electric cars on the eve of the massive shift to electric. It looks fun and reliable.

    Dude that thing can easily go 80mph considering I do work for a family here in Western Massachusetts with the largest Ford Model T and A collection anywhere on the East Coast and they have a VERY rare 1913 Speedster Roadster with custom motor that was made for racing and it easily hits 100mph without an actual windshield.

  • @chazlabreck
    @chazlabreck Před rokem

    OK i see you using the clutch peddle and I'M a bit confused as to how that even works..if you direct couple the motor does the clutch peddle disengage the motor? to let it "free float" so you can shift??? or does the controller have a "pause" mode??
    I would be fascinated to know how your doing this because I am about to convert an MG midget..

      He mostly whines about Tesla fanboys though doesn't he?
      Also the fact that Tesla doesn't give its consumers resources to diagnose and repair their cars is extremely counterproductive considering the fact that Tesla is "Environmentally friendly", "Oh, your car broke? Just buy a new one!".

    • @braindamage396
      @braindamage396 Před 3 lety

      Suggestion. Perhaps he could amplify (artificially manufacturer) a whole bunch of crazy loud automotive noise while he is driving. It could be synced with the amount of torque. That way it could have that old school sound (...rumble roar 🎶🎵🎶 rumble roar...). 🤔😉🙃
