In a way it reminds me of a car from the 1920's or 1930's like a model "T" ford.

Maybe if you weren't retarded you would notice that he addressed the issue of converting a golf cart and why he didn't.

this is a great educational hobby. You certainly havn't wasted your time, It is the small car of the future's little brother.

Do a Google search for sunnev. That's Art's website for the car kit.

I think you guys should have put the solar panel on the roof of the vehicle. I like the idea and seeing it run is a great invention.

If you're going to build from scratch you might as well aim to build something with performance that a production electric golf cart with solar panels tacked on couldn't match. I don't see it here.

It's NOt the oil companies it's the farking leftist who won't let people do things. As someone else posted...License, Insurance, Safety equipment? Ok..anyone ever hear of neighborhood or farm vehicles? Nix to that in PA! Mopeds...nopers! FQIQ I drive a Durango and it's incredible! Best all around vehicle - for my family - EVAR! Don't give a hoot about milage, I need to carry people and materials over a daily 40 mile radius. It does that very well.

Fun project.I'd be willing to bet most of us old guys- kinda like Art - read about projects like this in the 50's and 60's in Science and Mechanics, Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, Mechanics Illustrated and all the "Guy" mags we had. Hey Art...remember the "King Midget" built in Akron Ohio? Great gas milage...easily repairable at any hardware store. Why not now? NANNY STATE and Leftists who want the all powerful socialist government to dictate what we can have. Continued in part 2.

They could have put solar panels on the roof! It does not have all the tings necessary for DoT approval, so it is no different than a scooter...definitely not street legal. A fun project for kids who learn nothing useful in school. We need to bring back "SHOP" classes, something even I missed. I only got electronics in a local learning center for computer repair certification...which I got kicked out of, because the teacher knew less than I did. Fortunately, I read the book!

When you have an average Joe making a car like this, just imagine what secets the oil companies have locked up... It's so sad. People are going to figure it out one day, so why not just tell us how to get off of that black poison?
