Solar-Powered Kiddie Car Mod


I keep stumbling on wicked mods created with something from the wide-ranging Harbor Freight catalog-- everything from the outrageous to the sublime. This time I'm just going to call it "cool!"

Ben Nelson's little girl is just about old enough to start driving her tyke-sized electric jeep. There's only two problems: there's no battery and no charger. A lesser man would have hauled the carcass to the curb, but not Ben. With a couple of spare 15 Watt 12 Volt Solar Panels and a 30 Amp Solar Charge Controller that he happened to have-- along with some conduit and a 12-volt battery-- the kid's now free-wheelin' it with clean, free energy.

Check it out!

  1. Love it! Dear Harbor Freight Tools see how I used one of your cordless drills and turned an electric jeep into an electric beach cart. http://www.redbeardlabs.com/2012/06/electric-powered-beach-wagon-made-from.html
