Interesting. I did some searching and I found couple of weird kits (like here’s an electric motor and a pedal) but no opinions from people that actually used it or news for known websites. For me it looks like DIY electric car kits misleadingly labeled as “conversion kit” but maybe I’m wrong. Have seen someone actually building a hybrid car with such a kit?
I’m saying a hybrid conversion, so keeping ICE but adding electric assist. I guess that’s a huge undertaking and doesn’t look like any reputable manufacturers are doing it. But I think they could if they wanted to.
Electric conversion seems to have some reputable companies, but still small.
I saw a company called REVR trying to do something with hubs like an e-bike: https://www.revr.tech/
