"worst car ever made" is a bit harsh. it wouldn't have been out of place in the west when it was first produced. the reason it's reputation is so bad is that they literally never changed it for 40 years.
Hey, if it ain't broke, why fix it?
Here's an interesting thought. A Trabi with a full tank of gas, and a 4 gallon premix in the trunk, can drive further then any Tesla currently made. Not bad for the worst car ever made.
I don't think it makes 600miles
And a set of spark plugs. And a spare belt or two. And a toolbox. And an alternator.
Don't get me wrong, I love Trabants (and Teslas), but you're comparing apples and oranges.
@@rouchar True, the only thing better than a car that's easy to work on, is one you don't have to. My comparison is exclusively just range, with Tesla being the most popular electric brand. Fun thing I learned about Trabant alternators, they're a standard old Bosch type, only weird thing about them is the mounting and graphite slip ring for the brushes. As for the generators/dynamo... Might want to carry a spare :p
0:44 - "But of course this electric version has a couple of practical benefits." - Seems like a correct translation
0:47 - "Cryptocoins practice of hotel limit isn't Electro entry" - Fairly certain this is not a correct translation
It's not plastic It's duraplast.
ganz genau!
Eco fiberglass
same thing bro
There was a electric trabant before that in the communist era
Stento a crederci... ma accetto come notizia...
Here in Sweden we have Entusiasts for the DDR Car! I would love to own one of these! I definitely will check Matthias custom job cars.
I'd take an electrified classic cars like this - looks far better and even lighter than modern crap.
We love electrified classics at DW REV, although sometimes the cost of conversion does make one pause for thought. What's your take on retro-styled electrics like the Microlino?
12KW with that giant E-motor.....I don't believe that
Do they keep on using the clutch and gearbox?
ich weiß nicht warum der nicht antwortet? aber Kupplung wird logischer weise nicht mehr gebraucht, wie bei mem akkuschrauber ja logischer weise auch nicht! aber das getriebe wird schon gebraucht! frage beantwortet, ja
@@digeier4995 Electric vehicles usually don't have a gearbox.
anstatt mir ein esuv zu kaufen, überlege ich schon mir ein Trabant 1.1 universal auch auf e umzubauen. allerdings mit mehr Reichweite wie mein Trabi damals (199km)und schneller wie 165km/h mit 1.3er wartburg motor. Reichweite müsste aber schon über 3oo im sein. scheibenbremsen hat der ja schon vorne drin und hinten kann ich die dann auch nachrüsten. potsdam
I dont know. but i think my homemade EV conversion for trabant is way better than this one
ab 3.10.1990 awz gmbh! nicht wie behauptet bis zum schluss als veb gebaut! ich hatte schon einen "westtrabbi" april 1990!
Incrzdible !
Where's Aging Wheels?
Spy x family mobile turned voltic!
Great turning it into an electric vehicle.
Who named it the worst car? Some idiot I'm sure
stimmt nicht, veb bis zum schluss! ja bis 2.1o.199o, ab 3.1o. war es gmbh! ch habe ein 1.1 Trabant universal gehabt Baujahr April 91, da stand drine schon gmbh...! potsdam 6.6.2o24
That's a massive pile of money to put into that thing. You can get a nice diesel Mercedes w123 with low miles and Immaculate condition, and who wouldn't want that
12kW? The original engine was on the order of 26 HP, 12kW is about 16HP. Seems like a step down
Peak power is probably higher than the stated nominal power
@@toughkix6910 What is peak power?
For my opinion electric vehicle is without soul
A Trabant less the smell of two stroke isn't a Trabant
Boring appliances and you can't fix them, nothing to wrench on, have to buy new one, really awful things.
@@elvine2149 Exactly
Hardly a bad car, it was cheap, DDR made much more expensive cars, and shortages? LOL, the 10 year waiting time I keep hearing it but people who actually lived in DDR longer than 2 months as a baby, can attest the wait time was more like 1 year, but I guess if you add an extra 0 it will sound more villainous.
But hey, lest we forget 70% of the DDR people became unemployed for 3 years after fall of Socialism and lost 96% of their entire economy to foreigners, nothing disgusts me more when you bring politics into a video about a car and then forge history into something else, but this is DW for you, all people who work at DW are too young to even remember days of PlayStation 2 release, so it is no surprise to me we get such snarky comments about a cheap reliable car and a country that built itself up from ruins while west Germany enjoyed endless support.
Electric junk. There used to be trabant with vw golf engine made for a short while I think 89-91, now that was cool car, much faster than vw golf because of plastic body.
The Trabi, consistently makes the worst car list, but they have a following, would you want one?
It will become a symbol of current “woke” Germany. 🤣
What’s woke about it?
@@DWREV Right wingers use the term "woke" to express that they are experiencing an anxiety attack because they can't handle change.
