Need recommendations: fun, electric 2-seater
 

I'm looking for suggestions for a fun electric vehicle. Basically it will be a short-range grocery getter and child delivery vehicle so it needs to be safe and compatible with a child seat.

Three wheels would be great. I don't think 2 wheels are safe enough. And sold in Texas if possible.

I'd also be interested in any kits that I could build :thumbup: :turtle:

.

Maybe something like this might work, they are about the size of a Side-by-Side UTV, but definitely check local guidelines and laws first!

Polaris GEM golf carts -- two more seats, one more wheel, 25MPH top speed.

I really like the GEM golf cart suggestion, guys. Thanks! The lithium ion batteries are expensive but I guess I could buy AGM for starters and upgrade to lithium later

Thanks for raising the question.

It prompted me to post Permalink #2, which showed me that a certified used FUV is at the $12.9K price point I signed on for. I shall look into selling the SUPERBeetle, an engine, transaxle, fiberglass fender skirts and various bit and pieces.

If I don't raise the funds, payment should be low.

I need something that can do short runs up or down Interstate-5.

Another idea was to buy a Factory 5 kit but make it electric. May be more work than I have space/time for right now but it would be awesome

Factory Five child delivery vehicle?

Compare Speedway's pricing:

$4K roller, then a golf-cart rear axle

For managing a child seat, maybe the center-door sedan?

I'd want BMW i3 Ecopias on red 19x3" Model A wires.

Fun, electric, 2-seater.
