    I found a run down 1960 Electric Shopper originally produced in Long Beach California and decided to restore it to run my kid to school in our neighborhood and flex on all the golf cart dad's. I fell in love with this weird unique vehicle because of the fact it has alot of classic car inspiration with the fins and curves.

    I stripped it down to the frame, sand blasted it and fully rebuilt it with modern upgrades. The original car would only go 10 mph, I have installed a 48v lithium ion batter, speed controller and new 48v motor. It now goes up to 40 mph which is extremely terrifying with 3 wheels. I have installed a stereo, redone all the chrome, sectioned and shaved a car bumper to fit the rear of the cart etc. It has a roof but I'm currently running it in a roadster style. It's about to go to upholserty but I thought I'd share and see if anyone else has one of these?

    Now that is very cool. But I bet it gets moved to the off topic board.

    BJR is soooo right, but I have to add........COOL, as in big capital letters two feet tall COOL!

    Just dress it with a little striping, and you're golden.

    So sweet! Looking at the stable mates in the background, I figured it would end up beautiful.
    Can't remember one exactly like it, but foggy recollections are of others like that.
