It feels as if electric vehicles are on the verge of becoming the mainstream cars everyone buys. However, for many people, an electric vehicle was their very first car long before they even had a driver’s license. If you were lucky enough to have a Power Wheels vehicle as a kid, then you know the shrunken-down replicas of real-world cars come with a battery and electric motor.
A new video shows the Grind Hard Plumbing Co team modifying a miniature Porsche Boxster, one of the biggest Power Wheels they could purchase. It’s beefy, with a metal chassis, rubber tires, a key, and a parking brake, which sounds like the real thing. However, unlike the Boxster you buy at the dealership, this one can only cruise at about 5 miles per hour.
