The Electric Wrecker

Home: California

The Electric Wrecker was built in 2008. Modeled created from scratch, starting with the wheels and ending with the base, and everything in between this piece was transformed from a pile of parts to a beautiful electric vehicle. This vehicle is not large, showy, or loud — it is the opposite, sort of subtle in its construction and operation, but the subtlety is a feature — the more you look, the more there is to appreciate. This vehicle is hugely popular with the engineering set. We find that we receive a lot of admiration for this vehicle because of the variety of engineering challenges that it addresses.
