We had (and drove) a Henney Kilowatt for a few years, but it was never going to be good for anything other than a showpiece (and we have the Ego scooter for errand commuting) so we bought an already-converted Karmann Ghia and drove that on longer-distance commutes before we scavenged the curtis for a friend’s Jet Electra and took out the batteries so we could rebuild and relocate the battery box. Now it’s sitting in the driveway … we’ve got the new batteries, we’re on the list to get a new motor … the near&dear is focusing on the Saturn conversion in the garage (he’s building it on commission) so our little Karmann Electra is a shell of its former self. This goal is to get the darned thing back up and running, and preferably able to make it to the Renewable Energy Roundup on its own next year.
