I saw one in a Dutch film once and they didnt use it to defog the windscreen. I knew they were popular but I didnt realise it was compulsory to fit them to cars in Holland. I suppose with the EC and harmonisation we will all have them fitted on our cars one day. Hmmm, I wonder where I will put mine?
+Glenn Howden Yep but i read in they internet pages : battery pack 130 to 180Ah LiFePo4 , top speed 130km/h, acceleration 0-100km/h 11seconds (much better as the gasoline engine!!!), range 110 to 160km (at 90km/h?), weight 760kg Interresting conversion, but i think if the Cv from the 2cv is very bad, better do not drive up 90km/h ...
+James Nolan Yes the better confort with a 2cv is at 90km/h, over is the noise high, but it's possible to improve this with a Visa engine, or a modified 2cv engine with up to 760cc, not to reseach much more power but more torque...but this need the modification from the gearbox to reduce engine RPM for the same speed+ 135 tires (= bigger diameter), best is the Swiss 2cv gearbox modification with 5 speeds, but very expansive... As British citizen i think you known the fabulous looking self made body "Tryane" (much better look as for example a Burton!): the 2 places body is built in "molded" plywood/epoxy with fine aerodynamics who allow 160km/h speed with the standard 29hp engine but a 5' gearbox. The only discutable thing is the 3 wheels configuration (so british...), good to reduce weight and Cv but i think not so good for road holding, but i see a prototype on 2cv chassis, with the rear arms inverted (out to in): this looks much better and more efficient for road holding and braking and allow a slim body stern...
corrosion is not a problem: you can afford new galvanized chassis, and all body parts are built new...and the "kill rate" from the 2cv was surprising low against "strong cars"...in case of a colision, the light 2cv jumps out instead absorb the impact energy like a heawy car...

Great car, the 2CV is an ideal candidate because of its light weight body. Big like.
It's very quiet, even for an EV.
Small tires and light weight, perfect for an EV conversion, hope you get good mileage out of it! :)
felicitaciones friens!! desde argentina!! very good!!
No sound, very little information and 5 minutes of the back of a car driving down the road.

es muy bueno
prachtige auto, ben benieuwd wat de topsnelheid en reikwijdte is.
For the look and the fun, it's a good idea ! But in case of crash or because of oxydation... i don't think so !

felicitation.
That's called "the driver" ;-)
It oils the engine parts
