2 Wheels Maybe

Taken on the Texas Tech campus Earlier this week I posted a pic (on Mesquite Hugger ) of a little electric Vantage GreenVan that D and I encountered as we were dropping off our recycling. And, as per usual, it sparked a lot of curiosity about oddball electric vehicles for me. So, I soon found a Vantage trio for sale on the Dallas Craigslist. They're in Aubrey, Texas, a little northeast of Denton. Woohoo! $1333 each! If only the little guys were fully street legal and a bit faster... Two of three on one trailer! I would not call them pretty, but, oh, the places you'll go fossil free! While I was on the DFW CL, I had to poke around a bit and saw this electro-pumpkin just east of Dallas. I've seen it for sale before, but it always needed work to get it going. Now it's a runner and a runner at a pretty reasonable price.  Sure, it won't haul as much as three Vantages, but it'll haul at least twice as fast and will incite ra...

[I'm resurrecting Fossil-Free-Friday over here on 2Wheels Maybe. I hope you enjoy the posts!] As a guy who loves old vehicles but hates the environmental damage they do, I love seeing cool EV conversions, and some of my favorites are the air-cooled VWs. They convert pretty easily, they're light and simple, they're a blast to drive, and they're fun to look at. One company that has excelled in converting old VWs (and Porsches) is Zelectric in California. I've followed their feed for a while now - they build some gorgeous machines and they use high-end AC motors and components. These cars perform as well as they look and accelerate a whole lot faster than a stock VW. Yep, I'm a big fan. But I'm none too wealthy. And their conversions start at $56,000. So, while they're incredibly cool, they're unobtainium for regular Joes, Joseys, and Mesquite Huggers like me... Find out how to win on Electrek.co ...unless someone decided to raffl...
