This one:
I saw this on a recent show I watched; I think it was American Pickers.
They came across one; and the story behind it was that it was built for injured people after WWI
It was a motorized wheel chair that their care takers would drive them around in.
I believe it was French built.

It looks like that Goliath Goli is a perfect candidate for an electric conversion. With a 12kw motor, you would more than match it's current performance, plus it would be silent 
You could probably get away with a 7kw motor and still get about the same performance that the 16hp motor puts out.
I WANT TO KEEP IT AS ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE . HAVING JUST ONE OF TWO ON THE STATES IS
A SOLEMN RESPONSIBILITY .
BUT YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE E-V CONVERSION .
THE ELEVATED BED LEAVES A LOT OF ROOM FOR BATTERIES !
THE MOTOR & TRANSMISSION ARE PRETTY MUCH IN THE CAB WITH YOU . ( THERE IS A COVER)
THE ONE BATTERY THAT IS THERE HANGS OFF THE SIDE OF THE FRAME . NOW WITH 12 VOLTS !
THE OTHER USA BASED GOLI IS IN CALIFORNIA . IT's A WHITE '56 MODEL THAT WAS HORRIBLY
BUTCHERED BACK IN THE 60's TO FIT A VOLVO DRIVETRAIN . NOW THERE IS YOUR E-V CANDIDATE .

Sure, why not. After all it could be replaced with a wheel, just like those snowmobile conversions.
