So who is going to be first to try a defender to electric conversion.............
Hmmm I think you might be onto something there Simon.
Hipsters are into go fund me AND they're into defenders (for the moment) I might just stick my hand up for some cash, ditch the Ford motor, tranny & gbox and bolt in something from GE. I've already got 3 yellow tops and a solar panel, I mean, how hard can it be?
The benefits are coming to mind thick & fast: backlash would be a thing of the past with those nice smooth electric motors, the pocksier than Lucas Ford electrics would all go, no more turbo, cat converter, heat transfer and intercooler hose issues either.
Creek crossings should be pretty sweet too, shouldn't they? I mean they make electric submarines don't they...........
Electric Defenders have already been built, mostly to test the technology. Type in "electric defender" into google for a long list of articles!
Alta is the better bike.
Never seen them before.
Ktm looks better in my opinion.

Servos are going to carry these for exchange, are they?
