In conventional fuel vehicles, the vacuum assisted brake pump uses the vacuum generated by the engine intake manifold to provide power.
In the process of changing from oil to electricity, the vehicle power system is changed from a fuel engine to an electric drive system, but the brake system still needs help to ensure that the driver can easily press the brake pedal. The vacuum assisted brake pump can maintain this assisted function.
Compatible with the original braking system
Oil to electric conversion kits usually want to use as much of the braking system components of the original vehicle as possible. As an important part of the original brake system, the vacuum booster brake pump can be well compatible with brake pipe, brake caliper and other components.
In oil to electricity kits, the motor and gearbox are usually from different design systems. The adapter plate acts as an adaptive interface, allowing the output shaft of the motor to be precisely connected to the input shaft of the gearbox. For example, the diameter and shape of the motor output shaft may not match that of the gear box input shaft, and the transfer disc can ensure that the two are tightly and centrally connected by designing suitable shaft holes and connecting keyways. This is like the need for a conversion joint between pipes of different diameters to achieve seamless docking.
It also compensates for possible axial or radial deviations between the motor and the gearbox. Due to mounting space limitations or manufacturing tolerances, the motor shaft and gearbox shaft may not be aligned exactly in the same straight line. The transfer plate can absorb these deviations through a certain elastic or adjustable structural design, reduce vibration and abnormal wear, and ensure the smoothness of power transmission.
The heart of your electric Beetle, providing clean, quiet, and instantaneous power.
Superior Energy Density: Enables a target range of ~120 km (approx. 75 miles) at highway speeds.
Premium Safety & Quality: Built with top-tier EVE brand LiFePO4 cells and an automotive-grade BMS with CAN BUS.
Standard Pack Size: 810*385*355mm. Custom sizes are available to fit your specific build.
Why This 25KW Premium Kit is Ideal for Your Beetle
This 25KW 144V PMSM system is the premium performance choice for Beetle enthusiasts targeting speeds up to 120 km/h (75 mph) and extended range. The liquid cooling ensures sustained performance, making it perfect for longer drives.
Important Consideration: Due to the classic Beetle‘s compact architecture, we recommend systems under 30KW rated power to ensure the high-voltage battery pack remains practical for installation without major chassis modifications.
We Convert More Than Beetles! CMVTE designs and manufactures EV conversion kits from 1kW to 200kW for a vast range of vehicles, including cars, pickup trucks, vans, buses, and trucks.
Successful Conversion Cases We've Delivered for Our Clients：
This is a Phillippines customer, who used 7.5KW 72V motor made by our company. The coupler and adapter made by himself, his car is 1974 Super Beetle. After conversion, he won the first award in a country grade EV conversion Event.
This is a UK customer, who used our 15KW rated 96V motor kit. And he is very happy with the kit.
Questions About Volkswagen Beetle Conversions
Yes, we provide all electronic parts for conversion. We also provide wire diagram system, each part user manual, so you will have no obstacles for installation and connection of the system.
Yes, we provide motor spline coupler and adapter plate to install motor to original transmisison. But the original transmission’s clutch need to get removed. If you want to keep clutch, you need modify the spline coupler to clutch a bit. Because we do not have car in hand, so we bought a old transmission without clutch to make the coupler and adapter kit.
We provide two years for battery, and one year warranty for other parts. We only use top grade quality products. If any parts failure from manufacturing issues, we provide repair parts for replacement.
If we have stocks ready to go, the lead time is one weeek after order confirmed. if we have no stocks, lead time might be 4 weeks after order confirmed.
After you have discussed with sales manager all details of the order, he or she will make proforma invoice with all details and bank accounts for payment, normally payment is through bank to bank T/T. Other payment ways are also flexible to accept after discussion.
We only use top brand of cells in China, like EVE, like Gotion etc, most of the case we use EVE brand pure new and A grade cells to make pack. And in our battery pack we surely use real automobile grade BMS, not simple protection board.
We care about reputation more than our customers!
We are real manufacturer, not sales trade office/company, we started our motor production from 1995 in China. In conversion we now have more than 10 year experiencee. In the whole drive systems, we do not produce all parts, but motor we make, controller we provide CAN BUS and technical requests to our partner, same as lithium battery pack and wire hanress of the system, the design and CAN BUS are from us. other accessories like gas peda, meter etc we get from reliable partners.
Except motor and drive train solution, we also owns our own low speed electric vehicle assembly factory, its website/brand is www.gmtlsv.com
In short, we are EV expert with decades experience in China!
Yes, our key electronic components are with CE certificate for Europe markets, so at the moment, we ship to Europe like France, UK, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, Turkey etc.
We also have ISO9001 quality manage certificate.
For our EV products, we also have WMI （World Manufacturer Identifier） certificate, each vehilce has its VIN number.
To some particular countries, they have requests in import or tax reduces policy such as for Africa countries and Middle East, COC or SABER might needed for import. For some countries, certificate of origin: FORM A, FORM E etc are requested. We all have experience to make for customers.
Yes, of course, our engineers who can speak English directly, video talk/email/Whatsapp they can communicate and serve customers without obstacles.
No matter before-sales or after sales, we all request in time response 24 hours and 7 days as long as we see the requests.
