OUR FIRST ATTEMPT TO BUILD AN ELECTRIC AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE LED TO MISERABLE RESULTS

EV Channels Review

This video documents the Rich Rebuilds team's challenging attempt to electrify an Argo Max amphibious vehicle, repurposing components from a previously converted Sea-Doo. The project encountered significant setbacks, primarily with the electric motor and controller, which proved to be faulty and unusable. The team struggled with sourcing parts and adapting the motor's mounting system due to incompatible materials. Despite initial optimism and a clever adaptation of a sprocket for the drivetrain, the core electrical components failed, preventing the vehicle from being tested. The host expresses disappointment in the outcome, highlighting the common difficulties in custom EV builds when components don't perform as expected. The video also includes a segment promoting a Manscaped beard trimmer and a brief detour discussing a Dodge Hellcat.
