Too bad you didn't dig further. ZAP has actually done a lot to make sure that the Quality is more in line with US expectations and so far reports are that the...
BTW forgot to mention that the Xebra uses a 72V Altrax controller which ZAP installs at their facility in Santa Rosa. ... make ... far ... vans ... made ... In...
Neat. Thanks for pointing out that link to your driving experience. I could definitely see it's use as an inner-city runabout for those who live in DC or...
It does kind of look and smell like the 21st century version of the C-Car. If I had not found my Comuta, I think I would have bought one of these. Maybe...
There are three C-Cars on eBay right now 1980 Commutacar? - blue - Located in Central TX - ends 9/3/2006 http://tinyurl.com/kj6pl 1981 Commutacar - Red -...
If you want a -real- adventure that'll put steel in your spine, drive a tiny, plastic, electric vehicle during the height of a tropical storm. Silly me, I...
At lunch today here in Santa Cruz, CA, I saw a truck go by with three Zebras on the back, so I guess they're really able to deliver them, not just vaporware....
Okay ... its 10K for a Zebra or buy a Citi car or do a conversion For $10K I would go for a conversion 1st ....street legal 4 doors 2nd a citi car 4 wheels...
The three wheeler's are built in India. As far as the Zap Zebra goes, it would take several years on the US market to see reports on how it held up after five...
I think I'd just reserve judgement until I actually got to drive one. I will say that I wish they'd reversed the tripod setup with the single wheel in the back...
I was just reading my Aug. 22 post and apologize for the error. When lifting up on the accelerator you DECREASE the resistance in series with the shunt thus...
I have been offered another cticar free if I go 1800 mile roundtrip to get it. I know the cost to get it going as I just did one. it would be 4 days on the...
Depends on the condition. Probably between $1500 and $4000 unless it is a real basket case. I would think about flying out and then renting something. You...
i saw a post which asked if there was anywhere to look at a VIN and find out what year it was. so thought i would just try to get this going the particular...
Ok, this is probably nuts but I have decided to undertake a 72 volt conversion. The reason why is I just bought a bunch of surplus EV parts and the parts are...
Hi all- Thanks for the advice on the brake work. Will be getting a master cylinder rebuild kit shortly. Now turning attention to body issues: The doors latch...
Dang Brad that's cool. My only question is, where are you going to stuff all the batteries? Or are you going to switch to 12 volt batteries? Come to think of...
Welcome to the warped door club ! You will not get any answers here other than adjust the doors. But that is no where near a remedy. Adjusting the doors can...
Thanks. I think I will have to go with 12 volt. I know at least one other person on this list has done a conversion to 72 volts so I think it is possible to...
With the warm summer weather I finally used a razor blade to remove 2 several decades old stickers someone had put on the rear of my Comuta Car. Then followed...
If it weren't for the fact that all your parts are rated for 72 volts, I'd say you don't even have to go that far. An upgrade on the existing motor from 48-60...
Doug, I don't think it's as hopeless as Randy makes it sound. A common problem for DeLorean owners is the front fascia "eyebrows". The rubber/plastic bumper...
You guys have given me a great idea. The Comuta Van, being an ex-Postal truck has heavy, sliding doors with heavy glass panes in them. I think I'm going to...
I am just taking advantage of a great opportunity I had to buy surplus parts. I measured my battery (Deka marine deep cycle) and saw that it was 7 inches wide....
Some slacker in front of local Hardee's asked me that today. I told him that it was unlikely since it has 1200 lbs. of lead in it. He insisted that it was an...
