The Wheel Hubs of a Vintage Volkwagen Beetle are Reimagined as a Pair of “Volkspod” Scooters

Brent Walter is ready to pop a wheelie on old VW Bug wheel hubs. Walter repurposed an original Volkwagen Beetle to form the dramatically curved body of his “Volkspod” and built an engine and chassis to fit below. The just-for-fun project began about a year ago, seemingly from the comfort of Walter’s garage/workshop. He has been documenting his progress on Instagram, where people have caught wind of his invention. No word yet on whether the bespoke creations will be for sale; in the meantime, you can vicariously experience the wild ride of a Volkspod in the action video Walter shared on Instagram.
