In the comments on my recent Amphibious Car video Othman Alq and JOSIP Žlk said they would like to see an electric one so I converted this one but it didn't work well because it was under-geared. Today I fixed that. Getting the car to run out of the water and up the slope is the most challenging part as the slope needs more power than the water. The opposite direction is easy in comparison. I cannot answer comments from people who have blocked replies, so if you don't get a reply to your question that may be the reason. It is probably worth reading my video description first because the answer may already be there.

OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
