The mini scrabbling for grip and the sheer enjoyment it gave the guys was the winner for me. The beetle torching it’s tyres, just plain awesome. But the Defenders OMG that’s exactly what I want! Do you guys have installation partners in Australia?

Yep, check out Jaunt down in Australia. 👍

Best reaction by far is Matt Watson launching your Defender. I have a Caterham type kitcar with a screaming bike engine with 13000 rev limit. I know at some point it will be swapped for an electric motor. The future is very bright indeed 👍👍

[@Monni95]

Gotta fix the slipping when launching... When that is fixed you can get closer to 3 seconds with same motor. Either use overpressure or solid rubber tires to increase traction... I remember using well over 2 bars on my 13" wheels. Even then I had to use 4th gear to get the best traction.

[@m.i.andersen8167]

Thanks for all the videos and congratulations on the 100K. It's always a great pleasure to see your beautiful conversions and I think, at least for me, your channel does more for electric vehicles than big advertising campaigns and well-intentioned information. I really like cars from before the mid-1970s, so your choice of cars has been absolutely perfect in my opinion. The Beetle and the Landrover made me laugh out loud. I would much rather drive the Beetle than VW's new electric models. If it has to be exotic, it could be fun to see an electric Saab 92-94 - the oldest model. Once you get started with a very French vehicle it will be fantastic to see an electric Citroen DS.

[@spudproductions7606]

Thanks for the positive comments. Much appreciated. 😀👍👍

Well those engines don't work without multiple electric motors, electricity and batteries to begin with. Plus electricity water and cobalt used at every refinery just to make crude oil useable. So it really shouldn't be that surprising in the end. 🤔

[@peterduxbury927]

Your 600HP Electric Beetle is a world-Beater! But (should you decide to take your Beetle to a higher level), I believe that the Drag Coefficient of your Beetle is very poor. I own a flat windscreen 1971 Super Bug EV, and wondered if anyone knew exactly what the C of D was - for this type of car? I have been driving my Beetle EV for six months now, with Tesla battery Power and Netgain Hyper 9 Motor, it can leave many modern cars at the Lights, and in my rear-view mirror. Maybe a slight Roof Chop to begin with. (don't worry) - just keep your original cut roof because you could always make your super fast Beetle trim a second off that time (perhaps)! Greetings from Australia, where solar power is in abundance.

I also have a '68 the roof chopped Beetle. The chop definitely helps with the aerodynamics. 👍
