The Story of How the Volkswagen Beetle, an Icon on Four Wheels, Came to Life on Two, with a 212cc Engine

The Volkswagen Beetle, or Bug, is one of those iconic cars that have captured the hearts of automotive enthusiasts and design admirers for decades. With over 21 million units produced over its impressive 65 years of history, the old bug has become an icon of the global automotive industry. The journey of this beloved car, which began in 1938, only ended in 2003, enchanting entire generations with its timeless design.

But what if we told you that someone managed to capture the timeless charm of the Beetle and transform it into something even more adorable? Well, builder Brent Walter did just that, using the fenders of an old bug to create two small charming motorcycles, which he affectionately named “Volkspods.”

You might think that finding parts for an old Beetle would be a daunting task, but surprisingly, Brent says it’s quite the opposite. Parts for the old Beetle are, in fact, surprisingly easy to find, particularly at swap meets. This accessibility makes the restoration and customization of classic cars, like the Beetle, an accessible passion for many.

Brent Walter shares that his motivation to create the Volkspods came from the need for a scooter for Volkswagen shows. These motorcycles are not just a passion project, but also a way to hone his craft as a craftsman.

The progress of the Volkspods has been closely followed by a loyal community of fans on Brent’s Instagram account. Since the beginning, he has shared every step of the build, turning the journey into a shared and inspiring experience. Through photos and stories, enthusiasts have been able to see these unique motorcycles take shape and come to life.

The Volkspods are more than just motorcycles; they are an ode to nostalgia, a connection between the past and the present, and a celebration of the innovative spirit of the automotive community. Thanks to the creativity and passion of Brent Walter, the legacy of the Beetle lives on not only on the roads but now also on two wheels.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

The 2026 olive harvest in RS skyrockets and promises 1 million liters: after two bad years, the weather helped, 110 municipalities are harvesting, and Brazilian olive oil is trying to become a source of pride in the domestic market.

Brazil participates with its own satellite in a BRICS space network that has already mapped millions of square kilometers, and now the bloc wants to go further with new missions, radar for the Amazon, and even flights to the Moon.

A survey shows that Samsung phones cost up to 36% less in Paraguay than in Brazil, but before crossing the border, you need to add the cost of travel, accommodation, IOF, and store fees that can eat up all the savings that seemed guaranteed.

Scientists warn and cities must prepare as urban noise is making millions sick; noise pollution causes 48,000 cases of heart disease per year and affects the sleep of 6.5 million people.
