The Volkswagen Beetle is the most amazing and one of the most memorable cars in the history of automobiles.
This bug-shaped auto can be noticed instantly, even more so if it’s in its original vibrant orange, green, blue, or yellow colors.
It became classic and we often see it in retro and modern racing games and car modders take a shot at turning it up. After over 80 years of production, Volkswagen now announced to say good-bye to the Beetle.
People who love Volkswagen Beetle could not stop here. Brent Walter, a maker, and builder of a variety of things has done something incredible with the classic Beetle’s iconic wheel hubs and made his custom miniature motorcycle design.
Walter creates the Volkspod, what he calls it. He used his skills to have an interesting trophy for car shows: “I wanted a scooter to take to VW shows. These fenders were leftover from building my car. I also wanted to practice welding the thin sheet metal panels.”
Walter documented the creation of the Volkspod since day 1 on his Instagram.
He used custom-built frames with Volkswagen engines for the Volkspods scooters, built-in and covered by type 1 classic Beetle model fenders. It has a retro bike handlebar, a seat, as well as head- and tail lights. Walter made two classic variants: birch green and pastel blue.
“The original (green) has a 79cc motor and is more for looks than it is practical,” elaborated Walter. “The second (blue) one has more ground clearance and a 212cc motor. It is more practical to ride around on the road.”
The Volkswagen called “people’s car”, the name says everything. It was a cheap and practical car for the new roads in Germany. The car was designed in the early to mid-1930’s and launched in 1938, but became hit at the end of the 1940’s.
“There seems to be plenty of old Beetle fenders at swap meets,” explained Walter.
