Inwheel is what I thought would be cheapest , simplest ? for my Beetle , It would become a diesel hybrid.. My idea is to use the electrics from 0-30 mph then i can let the diesel's 5th gear take over. Also make the left rear wheel a generator , when conditions apply , for aiding the charging of the battery pack.

Funny about our beetles seating. I have come to learn , in my old age that we humans are Very much a like in classifications anyways.. and Ideas , holidays etc.

Like the saying goes Great Minds Think a Like
