Primarily it was conceived for similar reasons to your own outline. The impact of the idea meant it was also an ideal promotion "vehicle" as well! Basically a 3 Door 93 Corolla Hatchback (Not generally available in the U.S.) with a seized ICE, needing basic tidy, but generally sound , allied to 36 volt Forklift electrics 48Volt "Beasty " Motor. Generous donations of Fork Lift gubbins and engineering (adaptor plate and coupler)Full data on these latter parts have to be finalised on collection (two weeks from today). I,m "floating" a Name the Car competition in local schools to promote local re-cycling/Cancer campaign issues as well as give local youngsters some on the doorstep green news. Thats it basically. Of course Forkencycle gets much of the credit for feasability.As well as other Ecomodders of course.

This type of conversion would work great in Kitchener-Warerloo for range and topography and be great in inclement weather when I can't use my Strong Electric bike or my Segway. How have you addressed the heater/ defroster issue.
