  • Today we convert the Gem Car to Gas! We install a 713cc V twin from Duromax and a custom swing arm. We have to convert it from front wheel drive to rear. We remove the front diff and modify the cv axles. This is going to be an absolute unit when its done.

    The Gem is so cute & ecclectic looking. Way different than typical golf carts I've seen & serviced/repaired in S. Tx. I love the build RB. If I was 30 years younger, I'd be your intern. But I'm an old retired, handicapped feller & can't see to good neither. 😎 Peace!

    those reverse boxes are pretty good for being a 30 series my stage 2 no governor 420 rides flawlessly now that i got my gearing sorted had to go up on the trans input the 9 tooth that was on it just caused chain slip and stretch. but with a 20 tooth on the input sure the speeds decreased but she pulls wheelies with the gearing change and no chain slip

    I love this build....the vehicle is so quirky and weird, and now it's got the ol' Redbeard touch! I'm guessing it'll hit 55mph. I'm REALLY anxious to hear that exhaust....it's easy to make a small engine loud....but hard to make it quiet and still perform.

    Love your videos and I'm following this build closely as I'm working toward converting my electric EZGO RXV to gas. I was looking at using the DuroMax 420, but given that I'll be utilizing the existing rear diff that currently only has a 3.3kW (4.4 hp) electric motor paired to to, would the 16 hp DuroMax be overkill? I want more power than stock, but not ridiculously overkill...
