In this electrifying episode, Rich Rebuilds takes on the challenge of converting a Honda Beat to electric power for his friend Ben from Gears and Gasoline. Initially skeptical about fitting an electric motor into the tiny sports car, Rich secures a Honda Beat from Coal Classic Cars in North Carolina for a bargain price. By replacing the engine with components from an Aramoto electric motorcycle, Rich transforms the Honda Beat into a powerful electric vehicle, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown.
Dubbed the "Beat Off," the competition pits Rich's electric Honda Beat against a stock version in categories like driver engagement, fun, performance, and repairs. With modifications including an Aramoto drive unit and lightweight wheels, the electric Honda Beat promises an exhilarating driving experience. As the team prepares for the test drive, anticipation builds for the head-to-head battle between the electric powerhouse and the traditional Honda Beat.
During the test drive, the electric Honda Beat impresses with its smooth acceleration and enhanced handling, showcasing the benefits of electric conversion. The team enjoys the unique driving experience offered by the electric vehicle, noting its attention-grabbing presence on the road. Reflecting on the performance and handling differences between the electric and stock Honda Beats, the team concludes the competition with a newfound appreciation for the capabilities of electric power in a compact car.
