dr_broon Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Was just reading this on top gear. Think that this sort of product is going to be more common. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/what-would-you-do-107bhp-crate-electric-motor I bet ecu modification suddenly becomes more complicated though... Especially if you want a motor for each rear wheel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I've been looking for this sort of thing glad its finally surfacing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Much as I hate EV's I'm all for hybrids and think hybrids ARE the way forward. Would even consider this for DD, but at that price and needing one for each rear wheel, the price would by far outweigh it being economically viable.Plus you need sva to re-class the vehicle, lots of hoops and red tape to jump through I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 True but a step in the right direction. I recon one day our "future classics" or whatever may have to get involved with electric revolution. I fear we are going to get heavily penalised on tax and fuel eventually 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Yeah, I think that the choices and prices will get better as they scale up. Even with one you'd have enough power for pootelling around town. The change from electric silence to roaring vtec would be amusing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
