The Volkswagen Beetle is already a classic when it comes to cars and a true icon for collectors. Mexican designers from Aldekas Studio wanted to pay their respects to the Beetle and transformed everyone’s favorite tiny car into something very cool.

They created the Bugkart Wasowski which is a mini kart car, blending old and new elements and using the fender of a Type 1 Beetle.
The Mexican company specializes in vintage car restoration and unique designs, and the VW fenders are a great piece to be added to upcycled vehicles.
Their mini kart is hard to go by unnoticed, thanks to its retro green color and red frame, and completed by the brown leather seat and handlebars the kart is a true collector’s piece.
The kart designs are still just renderings and the company is in the planning phase, so you’ll have to wait a bit longer to buy one. But make sure you follow Aldekas Studio in case they decided to produce this amazing mini kart inspired by the amazing VW Beetle.

Everyone’s all-time favorite, the Volkswagen Beetle has been repurposed by a creative builder into a something called a „Volkspod”.
Brent Walter, who identifies himself as a „maker and builder of a variety of things” reimagined the iconic car in the form of an old-fashioned mini bike. His current job is in the sector of medical equipment manufacturing, but his passion for DIY projects and vintage items is what powered this project.

According to Brent, he wanted a scooter that he can take to VW shows so he decided to make the „Volkspod” by welding together fenders from the corners of old VW Beetles.
His invention has wide handlebars, specific to bicycles, and is powered by a 3 horsepower engine. It can also speed up to 25 miles per hour.
The coolest part of the mini scooter is the front that features the iconic Volkswagen’s crest and it comes in the colors of the original car, birch green, and pastel blue.

There are so few in Canada that most people who see a Super Bugger for the first time likely take a second look.

Now a couple in Rimbey, Alta., has decided to sell one of the rare beasts.

“It’s really difficult to explain this little thing,” said Keith Spelrem, who with his wife, Glenna, owes a green-trimmed Volkswagen Beetle conversion called Super Bugger.

“We try to tell people, if you took a camper off the back of a truck and stuffed the nose of a Beetle on it, that’s kind of what it looks like.”

More than 25 years ago, Rimbey resident Don Speer bought the Super Bugger in Arizona. It made its way back to Alberta slowly, because even then people liked to box it in on the highway so they could take photos.

Glenna Spelrem fell in love the moment the SB arrived in her Alberta town.

“I got to drive it in the parade,” she said. “Even now, when we take it out and about, it’s just one of those things that makes you feel really fun inside.”

Speer kept the converted Volkswagen as a personal vehicle and never put it up for sale. When he died, Super Bugger was put up for auction in 1997. The Spelrems knew if someone else bought it, they might never see it again. They made sure that didn’t happen.
