Project E-Trabant

http://Renwired.com/E-Trabant is a project to make one of the old East German Trabants of Legend into a fully electric vehicle. The project is being brought alive by Team E-Trabant, the concept coming from me (Renwired), currently sponsored by MAD Emergent Art Center.

About me: I'm an automotive student who works at a customshop most of the time as an apprentice, if not working at home on vehicle-related matters mostly. Had always been fascinated with electronics, then I got old enough to be allowed to drive and cars became my biggest passion and I decided to switch from computer programming to automotive engineering.

Hi there -

That project is worthy of a link! Sounds fun.

The forum won't let you post links before you have 5 posts, but spell it out and I'll fix it for you.

Thanks, that's what I though ;]

In the end it will be a car with retro looks but stacked with modern features!
