    Why does this swap use flywheel and clutch?

    The motor utilizes the conventional transmission and can be driven in a single gear or shifted manually. Check out the driving video in this link kzread.info/dash/bejne/eJuEk8Grd62oqMY.html

    Electric motor armature shafts are usually not rated for much of a thrust load. I wonder if the roller bearings in the electric motor have a high enough thrust rating for the thrust applied when the clutch is applied and released.

    @demotors070161 is there a thrust bearing built into the hyper9? I imagine there will be some axial force when depressing the clutch, and I don't see any thrust bearings externally in the set up. Wondering if this has been an issue for you and this build at all?

    "Chucks Garage" Usually electric motor couplings only have to transmit rotational torque through them. They typically use a Lovejoy coupler to take care of minor alignment issues. That adapter will also see the rotational load and any imbalance of the clutch and flywheel, and the thrust load from the throw-out bearing when applying the clutch. IMO it needs to be an interference fit.

    Too much to be a cool way to get a old bug with no engine back on the road because buying a new engine is cheaper. You could probably buy a new engine and trans for the price of the EV motor.

    You're missing the point: ease of conversion. It's literally just a motor swap. Nothing I'd do to ruin the value of a classic car, but you do you. Heck, you can even get a couple of hundred bucks for the old engine to offset the multiple $1000s of dollars for the EV motor kit + batteries! 🙄
