That is an awesome setup! Like what you did with the diamond plate. Was this part of a kit?

30 miles from only 8 batteries really is "awesome", even at city speeds – hope you get to post a clip of this car with a lithium pack in the future!

Thanks I cant wait to get a lithium pack in it. My mom works for a airline so I'm hoping to go over seas to by some. Also its can go highway speeds.

If you do buy directly from any Chinese company, bring all the testing equipment needed to check each and every cell – they are notorious for a "you bought it, it's yours" policy, and failures become your problem, not theirs!

Thank you so much for the advice. I really need to research where I can purchase the lithium batteries from. Our electric car club also would like to know, if anyone can help us….that would be great.

That's a nicely assembled bug: clean and orderly. How much did the electrical conversion cost? What is the wattage rating for the motor? Great choice of color.

The conversion coast 7,000 but in our state they give you a $4,000 rebate so it only coast 3,000 and My thirteen year old brother did most of the labor because I have cerebral palsy and my hand don't work real well. Im not sure on watts.
