anybody here converted an ISETTA?

Congrats!

Here is a video of the Harrington BB electric Isetta. They make all kinds of parts for Isettas in Vietnam. Here is a webpage about their electric efforts.

I contacted Harrington before, but the won't sell any conversion kits (they also do not offer any support).

I saw some threads here in the forum about willing to convert an isetta. But I guess nobody did the step to start ...

Or is there anybody out here who started or even finished an Isetta Conversion??

THANKS for your input

Hi Penman,

My Isetta and I stay in Austria.
Wow, that's great, you are the first person converted an Isetta after searching for 4 month.

I am really interested in how you did it, about used components, details on motor mount, batterie placement, axle-load,...


thanks for your message

At the time the best available batteries were lead/acid Gates technology. I used 48 volts and a Lynch motor driving the rear wheel by a toothed belt. It accelerated quickly to about 35mph and had a range in excess of 30 miles. It is based on a grp replica and is still in my garage. Would you like it? The batteries are dead obviously and would be best replaced by lithium now.
