Just as James Taylor says... "She moves". The 1980 Suabru Jet industries Electravan wheels are literally in motion. This could not be said a week ago since the shoes were fused to the drums. I fabricated a tow bar and "test towed" the van with my riding lawnmower. I fabricated a tow bar to promote mobility and assist appointments for the van's restoration. New Lithium Ion batteries should shave 1000 lbs off the curb weight of this van currently installed with lead acid.

  • I have one of these in my back yard that belongs to the president electric car club here is St. Louis I would be great to take to shows and put next to my CitiCar to show people that this EV thing is not a new idea!!!

  • ha ha - nice soundtrack choice! and some dramatic slo mo.

    beautiful fab job.

  • Hey Gazpacho8, I have a Craftsman transaxle with a bad tooth. So that's pretty common, eh? Probably not worth taking a part to fix. (Not to ignore your fine video, Mark, but...)

  • A quick way to break a shitty peerless trans-axel in a crapsman.
