Autistic quantity of product placement.
Thumbnail had me thinking this was a MCM video. You should hook up with those guys !!!!
How do you see the available amount of charge you have left, and how much charge you have when charging?
I have a ‘65 Triumph Spitfire I’d love to turn electric. I’d finance it if you want to make it your next project!
Give that shit to your homeless assistant. Don't be a total asshole your whole life. Luv u Rich your a genius. Keep doing yo thang boy!!!!!
This is a stupid question, have you ever thought of developing and offering conversion kits for sale...
Where is the parts list or build info? That should be in the description of the video..
Commentary alone was worth the watch!
It does look very clean!! Cool project
Watched the whole series - and I don't even care about cars, yet alone have one.
You guys are cool and smart but really bored with all the promo material but hey if that is the way you have to earn a buck then carry on but there is a limit to where people will just turn away from your work. Stay safe guys.
Will you be able to get it registered for regular road use?
you know you can adjust those ramps right?
I know this is so, so late... but... SHIP JUST GOT REAL!
what are the motor specs + controller ?? great finds just hoping to find some deals on EV parts before getting a running shell :) Looks like a zilla 2k controller, any specs on which one it is ? Motor wise ? brushless/ brushed ?
Need a vfd before your control
Everybody ignore the links in chrome, “elon musks feet”
Hey man nice video! I got a question for you. Do you think its possible to add a two wheel with electric motor in the back of a gas car meaning when you dont want to used the gas pedal just use electric.
that rubber on the left will drip any water onto your electrical parts, fire hazard i see it. cover that shit asap.
Legendary rear fender my wife doesn't approve
Wait what,, 41 mile range? 🤣🤣
What gear do you start off with? Without a clutch are you keeping it in gear? I assume it would be hard to rev match? Or does an electric motor act differently as far as clutchless shifting that it ,might be more forgiving?
Why care what people say? It's your property purchased with your money, you're free to do whatever the fck you please with it. I would have done it. You have to have a pretty pathetic life to threaten someone for that. Keep up the great content brother. Love it ❤
WOW, THANKS, YOU ROCK!!!
Hello rich, i just wanted to know can you give me the info on the electric motor ? Like the model number ? I wanted to know where I can find it. Really want to convert my short Thomas bus into electric. Thank you
Wtg guys great job! Now get that electric motor out of there and put in a big block chevy in it!
2:09 I've watched all might thank you for prices and the lessons Rich!
“ it might be to much for me “”even Steven”””.... / facepalm
Too much damn adverts damn
So let me get this right, you guys can duplicate and or build from scratch a lunar space module 🤔. However you neglect to or lack the skills to create a decent ramp for loading the precious cargo onto the trailer 🤓🤪. What's an I missing here geniuses😂
Lmao I'm new to the chanel but pls 😭show don't show us the abs.... but make an episode for inside details cleaning of the gear shifter
Scared the piss out of him......
The controller needs to be programmed for smoother throttle response.
i got a scion IQ i am looking for someone to tranform my car for electric ..
I'd love to see a collab with rich and like the hacksmith or linus, I feel like there would be a lot of humor pack moments. Love your videos!
Wth man. Those parts in the UK, used, if we could get them, would still cost like £6k+ 😢
can somebody slide those ramps in towards the middle so thair not sooooo wide.
I lived in Brasil but I tell you. If what u doing is legible then you loosing money somewhere . Can you come to Brasil. You will be a Billionair like everybody gonna convert their cars to Electril believe me
I want one of these for my business.
Rich hit me up bro
Any chance you considered recovering power for your EVs? You can rig a alternator to recharge as you drive ( they mostly mount the alternator to a rear tire and use that to recover energy) , I've seen it working but thought the mad genius that you are could do it better! Especially after seeimg your super charge debacle, might be a fun mod for the mini and possibly if you can mod it into a Tesla! Love the channel, if we ever meet the Popeyes is on me!
“So go to a race track then” said PETER GRIFFIN
Leenda parents approve of these vids ? What’s the update on the ol school red one ?
Rich is the truth and hilarious 😂
The dash looks just like a regular mini Cooper, every emergency light lit up like a Christmas tree!
$500 max for 24H of Lemons
Did you say what you are doing for a heater/AC?
Start it in 2nd gear! You will get rid of the jerkiness (-;
Did you say 40 miles of a full charge? That doesn’t seem right...
hahahah dude loading that mini on the trailer was just EPIC
What under 3k?!?
loading it on the trailer was the best 🤣🤣🤣
Thats awesome, now I'd love to have that, loading it on the trailer was hilarious.
Not sure if I missed an episode, how did you make the power steering work ?
Pardon me, question from a peanut. Could a Jeep Wrangler be a good conversion? Ive always wanted one! Macgyver. It's always had an issue with being top heavy, but if you mount the batteries on the bottom, couldn't it just be amazing?
Cant wait to drive a Rich series
What gear you shift in for launchig? 3rd? 4th? or 5th???
What year is the car?
i wanna see this thing on a dyno
Leenda , might not clean well , but Damm She Looks good doing it!LOL!
Now Mini Cooper have worth ?
I see you connected the electric motor to the manual transmission without a clutch. Do you change gears? How? Do you just leave it in one gear ?
Those website tabs though 🤣
Amazing build and very entertaining. Thanks
It would be great if the videos would be around 10-12 mins
His assistant 🤤
My Brotha Great Job !
I scrolled a long way through the comments and NOBODY commented on a 41 mile battery life? You can grab a porsche boxter for under 5k with a 50% lower 0-60 and a 50% higher top end, same number of seats, better balance, 0 modification, and literally 10x the range. He put HUNDREDS of hours into a vehicle that can only go 20 miles from your house without several hours of recharging. I can't think of any person on the planet this vehicle is suitable for. It was fun to watch.
The assistant is peng 😍
air conditioning?
Rich needs to do something with that nappy ass beard
Because of this guy the law makers in his state will allow third parties to work on EVs (Tesla) it's kind of crazy how important of a mechanic he is.
yeah but dont put to much hp or it l blow the moter that happend to my uncle he was doing burnouts when the engine blew up my uncles reckless
Almost forgot about this. How did it make out in the lemons race or did they have that yet

Is is street legal? Can you register and get insurance on something like this?
How can this guy be so nerdy and manly at the same time.
Recording something for a documentation? Like insursnce? 😆
I'm starting a 72 midget EV conversion. Just as a fun Miami Beach toy. You are the bomb.
What happened to having the back seats????
you guys know you can put the ramps on that trailer closer together right?
Good Stuf👍.
Shes pretty good at cleaning that stick
She polished your knob.
Best take that to a mechanic. Your CEL is on!
Any Climate controls being added like AC / Heat?
Are you going to build a back trunk enclosure to cover the batteries and provide some storage in the trunk?
What was the range?
can u build dynamo at the back wheels so that it can have power for long time
Elon musk's feet
That is the nuts 💔 it larrysullivan in london
There's always a Karen that's against happines I dunno why white people don't learn to mind their damn business is that so hard to do ? .
24 hr lemons are suppose to be $500 and you got 4k, the amount of penalty laps would be crazy. And the event organizers can buy any entered car they want for $500 and you have no say, this keeps people from entering expensive cars and lieing
Slick !
I know why the top speed is 101 mph because the Chevy volt has a max speed of 101 mph
Barry 😁
That was so mean😅😂
more range = less swap time, so what is the optimum mix ? Also for road use is there a regen braking element in the controller ?
Sharing this thumbs up. Under $3g. Nice!!
