Build a Car in Under an Hour with the OSVehicle Tabby!
Have you ever wanted to build your own car?
Well now you can! The OSVehicle Tabby is an open source, build-it-yourself vehicle that you can buy online and build in less than an hour!
The pieces are shipped to the customer with instructional videos available online. The kit includes four wheels, two seats and an electric powertrain and battery pack. It can be purchased for $4,200.
However, this model does not include body panels, lights or a windshield, meaning the Tabby is not street legal. You can upgrade to the Urban Tabby model that is street legal, but only in the UK.
You will have the option to purchase an electric motor, gas engine or gasoline-electric hybrid and the Tabby will be able to reach speeds of 50 mph.
An article in the Huffington Post had this to say about the Tabby “Overall, the vehicle appears to be a unique way to bring inexpensive transit to the do-it-yourself crowd. It also looks like the perfect project for those who have yet to master the art of welding, but have graduated past building Legos.”
