MEET THE TEAM

Meet the Flash Drive Motors Team

What started in a Texas garage has grown into a community-driven EV shop that blends technical expertise with a lifelong love of classic cars. The Flash Drive Motors story began with a car-obsessed father who passed down a passion for engines, restorations, and all things automotive to his kids.

Evenings were spent wrenching in the garage; weekends were for drag strips, dirt roads, and swapping paint at car shows. As the next generation came of age, they pursued careers in tech, engineering, and mechanics—but the love of classic cars never left. Side projects turned into full builds. Restorations became full electric conversions.

We’re a team of engineers, tinkerers, designers, and dreamers—bound by a love of old metal and new tech. Based just outside Austin, Texas, we’ve built a network of builders and enthusiasts who want to see these iconic vehicles not just preserved, but powered into the next era.

“Flash Drive’s kit was everything I needed—and nothing I didn’t. The install instructions were clear, and the support was legit. My ‘68 C10 runs better than it ever did with a gas engine.”
