Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Vintage VW Beetle kits are pretty common.

I suppose you could make any car an e-car. Friend of mine made an old Fiesta into an electric. I saw a Celica done, too.

That's just wrong. Everybody knows the horsepower is supposed to be in the back of Beetles.

Just because you can buy something on the internets doesn't mean it's "common."
