Project ForkenSwift is driving!

The electric car on a beer budget project is road worthy. We featured this team of EV converters earlier as they took an electric motor from a forklift and dropped it in a Geo Metro. While a welder was working on the battery rack, the team wired up six batteries for an impromptu test drive on city streets. Check out the team's website for more history on the project and updates.
