Conversions
Conversions are gasoline engine vehicles that have been converted to electric power. The gasoline engine and fuel tank are removed and an electric motor, controller, and batteries are installed. Most conversions are do-it-yourself projects although some schools and companies do conversions. Go to the Web Resources section for links to organization who do conversions.
See the Do It Yourself page for information on do-it-yourself conversions.
