100,000 views!

I just checked my old "How to Build an Electric Car" that I put on INSTRUCTABLES a while back.

It just broke 100,000 views!

That's a LOT of people interested in learning how to roll their own!

If you would learn how to build a cheap, practical electric car like I did, see it at Build your own Electric Car!

or just search the forums here for "Electro-Metro".
