the eye clinic trip and a plastic car that rolled the road in communist east. germany is back. this time with an electric heart. we met the man who dared to tinker with the notorious to stroke, classmate, hobbies, kish, took the trouble, is a part of history order. it's really famous and has cult status art or so it's great to take it into an electric future to to go to film as another sh tonners are a hot co hardcore fan. say it has to make that knocking sound and stink otherwise, it's not a tropi is hurtful. but of course this electric version has a couple of practical benefits. i'm. it is an electron

hold the guns. i'm driving the whole time in 3rd gear and no because i don't need to really accelerate. it makes it feel a bit like an automatic typically the are the more they go. what began as a hobby for mathias fair is now a site business. he actually runs a cleaning company, which is where he and his team developed a travel conversion kids he passed on the hard fight. ruins is i, we never wanted to come up with some kind of make ship solution or what it was for the commercial market, not unbidden, which meant providing aversion that was easy to use and performed well on the road and kept the customer satisfied somewhat. for i'm and little quinta toll free of miss dashed on the e version is a no frills of fair in keeping with the true bonds style to ta but but some things you just count to replicate. driving an electric, travis is an entirely different experience for the ease. yup. going into the low

comparison. we're doing 70 and the noise you hear is more the transmission than the car itself. out of the electric may cove, it is possible with any to than to model not started out as a prototype in 2012 is now a standard package. but dr. is can either do the conversion themselves or have bad do it. the 1st step is to got the vehicle out us for a while now it's ready for the electric power train, unclipped all the gasoline engine parts, no longer needed, have been removed, and seen how to dish. now, while the engine and attachments and the exhaustive, the original ignition, they're all gone, it and the fuel tank, and that's actually fitted up front in a turban to come. it's all gone down and awful. my response on that. so now on this, we're ready to refitted as an electric car. i've to buy as an a close to appreciate what electric travis really means. it helps to look back at least germany's beloved

and hated automobile. a bunch did fill the turban, came from a state car makers accelerating and spic out and was built there till the end is to let's give out the 1st heavy road of the assembly line. on november the 7th. 1957 fires typically faced a 10 year weight and a price tag equal to a year's wages. it's body was made of plastic fiber composite resin due to steel shortages. the tabby was also a manifestation of the shortages that typified east gemini economy. in german trebled means companion or satellites. inspired by the soviet sputnik, the world's 1st artificial satellite launched into obit that same year shortened tubby. the car became the companion of east germans for generations as well. the alaska bit was used for everything, making out, making babies, people slept in the law, camped out in them and covered big distances in them. so as long as they had enough

spare parts with them, and vcr sets them on without a i real. hm. when people came back from a trip, the 1st question was not how was the vacation, but did the car hold our had sound? you'd sometimes see alternators discarded on the side of the autobahn. this machine did a home lorden. the most savvy trap drivers always carried extra spark plugs and nylons as a substitute fan belt. the car itself weighs in the just under $600.00 kilos. it's lightweight, makes it ideal for electric conversion as it needs less power to get it moving. for unclipped moodle, we fit a 12 kilowatt motors, which means it has the same output as the gasoline powered trouble. and it's really important for the vehicle licensing that we don't change the performance issues fungus find off on didn't fall as chrome went on to antipathy. these are electric

batteries stowed, we put in 30 or 60, depending on the range is little search too strict. anger, parkville, muses, house trick. here we see the heart of every e v. the battery pack on creeps but he, i like the original, shabby design, mathias bez, electric conversion kit is no frills. just the batteries, charges and fuse books in the back. and the mysa up front ritual english of the i and we wanted to retain the true bonds, simplicity and the whole. in other words, no complicated controls and electronics. and according on to come, there are some different components in hub and as high for example, here we have the main monitor classes. we ran in classic any car style. it has a battery display tag, which currently shows 100 percent arch bill. this particular

d i y converted shavanne to is almost ready mathias bag gives the added parts and general set up a check before passing it on to the official test or done good. now the car can go up to the inspectors of non bomb unplugged and ready to roll. the only thing holding back owners of a he, travis, is battery range. in the old days tribe drive is faced a different kind of limit to them. infamous thanks to the cold war. oh, liable kind to boy. they never really were a symbol of freedom. i king louis my freedom came in 1989 when the wall came down. latravius drove across into the west, loyal synth. all that was freedom, horrible. i really, they were a symbol of them is management. so centralized economy and material shortages,

martinsville trust, the fool if the wool meant the end of the tragedy to their wits, he is among the workers at the saxon ring factory. as the last of the 3000000 units rolled off, the production line in 1991, travis would become increasingly rare in we unified germany before then. nostalgic . come back up on its hurried irish. they be now got a passionate fan base. i guess he jumps him up and they're even considered a financial investment as we helped unlock the they've practically become vintage model is fine. lots of fans are fixing them up to look better than when 1st bill irish knows that that definitely gets the emotions going to affect shawn and return of hidden farm. there are still around 38000 tribe ease in we had and wonderful varieties in germany today with a growing share of electric editions as close to misfortune. as a people make the wrong equation that a simple car means low price shop is out. unfortunately, not

a little 5. that is because of the high quality lithium batteries we installed that are now standard and modern cars. each room proxy and ion deal strong. and that's the cheap price factor. of course, that is natalie's from the hub price compound, ender. it costs 22000 heroes for the d i. y kit, or $27000.00 plus to have a car converted by the city sex team. the exotic appeal of the causes even led to the growth of trompe safaris in berlin, where tourists can cruise around the classic sites of the urban jungle. and now of course, there are electric additions to it. it's a, it's an adventure, right? that is going oh, this is also with vincy with the road where the road is amazed or, or not at all. so and of course the traveler trip takes in checkpoint charlie the
