Thinking about converting a Trabant to an Electric Vehicle

[Taverner]

I'm thinking about this - the car is small and lightweight enough to work, and Trabants are actually pretty cheap to buy used, even if they are collectors items.

So would someone who knows a bit about EVs tell me if I'm way wrong, or if I'm onto something?

1. There are a few of them hanging from the ceiling at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame...

in Cleveland (as of the last time I went in there..approx 10 years ago).
The car had nice dimensions -not too small- but small enough.

2. Great small car for driving around the workers paradise!

lol...but seriously they were meant to do small driving under any conditions. The original engines on those Volgas could run of kerosene
