Not sinclair C5's, lol

Im talking about aftermarket conversions to convert petrol cars, that sort of thing.

Need something with only a very minimal range, literally a couple of miles would be fine.

Needs to be a motor of about 50bhp or so, and I need two of them (one per front wheel in a small car), and the battery to last a couple of miles, and the speed controller



Anyone on here got any good contacts for such things, or better still built anything like it?

My bro's doing a Robin Hood lecky car at the mo, I do know all his stuff has come from Holland.
Just spoke to him and he said EVISOL in Holland is a major player for this stuff as well as Siemens.
