Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I suppose you could make any car an e-car. Friend of mine made an old Fiesta into an electric. I saw a Celica done, too.

Just because you can buy something on the internets doesn't mean it's "common."
