Here is a smaller set that may be adaptable to a Citicar - http://www.jakescarts.com/Products/brakes_ez_lifted.shtml While this exact set of parts probably...
How bad are the rims? Mine looked bad, but they were mechanically OK (not bent). I had them sandblasted and powder coated - problem now is they look better...
They are actually really bad. To the point of the metal has rusted so bad the steel has started to be come laminated. I don't really know how the front right...
In the files section, there is a file titled "Motor Trend Article, 1976, Citi Car". The guy who wrote the article said... "The batteries are hooked to a 6-hp...
Perhaps a checklist of things to look for would be helpful. Such things as: Does each vehicle have all the major parts? Do they appear damaged or in working...
Peter - I have EV Performance's address as: EV Performance 25 LeAnn Street Rogersville, AL. 35652 Phone: 256-607-0110 Are you talking about someone else or...
The so-called "transition" CitiCars had the motor/axle setup you describe, plus the forced air cooling as seen later on CommutaCars. The best-restored example...
Gordon: Sorry, too many "A" States to remember after 3:am in the morning. Hand eye coordination starts to fade long before the sun comes up. You are right...
All: I just finished reading Barbara E. Taylor's book "The Lost Cord", about Electric car's in general and Bob Beaumont who started our C-cars in particular....
do you happen to have the P/N on those bearings you just picked up from the RV store? I just got back from NAPA and they told me 75 dollars a set. Seems kinda...
From RV shop I got a wheel bearing kit shop made in China for $17.29 for one wheel. Includes dust cap, 2 cones, 2 cups, seal, and cotter pin. Maybe the...
YIKES! Went down to my car this morining and tried to unplug, the plug wouldn't come out. So I unplugged from the wall outlet and threw the cord in the back. ...
Lance - My Citicar has one of the Lester chargers with a timer, so it doesn't draw much power (only the interlock relay) until the timer is turned. I have seen...
Thanks for the part number. I'm going shop in the morning, that should take care of the front bearings and races. The back bearings I can make the numbers...
Yeah, I've gotten those connectors. They are useally connected to the battries of electric forklifts or pallet jacks. But the problem is on the AC side of the...
... Nah, a switch won't help. Cheap cord + meaningless UL approval + lots of current == melted outlet. Happens all the time. A little corrosion on the plug...
Lance - My C-Car is a little different from yours. My Lester charger is external to the car and I have gone to one of the $30 industrial-type plugs John ...
From what I understand... Amps in DC is higher than Amps in AC. What I learned from my former manager, if I am using a connector or switch rated 20amps 120AC,...
Uploaded a couple of new photos of my Alltrax / Contactor install. Original Forward/Reverse contactor is still used for same purpose but wired per Alltrax...
Lance: Not with my CitiCar, but my 120V converted 1994 S-19 has a Lester charger that works as 110 or 220 I/P with an inverted socket and a slide cover over ...
... Amps is amps, as long as we're talking about RMS amps on the AC side. By definition. The difference comes when the current is switched, especially when...
Why not just plug the cord into the car first,then into the wall outlet? ... From: Lance Wong <lance96816@...> Subject: [C-Car] Melted Charger port To:...
But that still won't solve the problem. Like with my compressor, the outlet arced, and I ended up replaceing the outlet and the plug. By using a switch. The...
Lance - I think GM used a technique like you described for their EV1 and S10 electric vehicles. You inserted a paddle from the charging station into a slot in...
I think the hot receptacle problem is not the result of momentary arcing when connecting. It is likely the result of resistance in the connection, mostly...
How about a switch to turn on/off the outlet? http://tinyurl.com/63jj78 This is a 30 amp (24 amp continuous) heavy duty switch that looks like a normal switch,...
I'd agree with George. When I first got mine going, the receptacle and extension cord would get warmer than I liked. I ended up replacing the receptacle and...
Put it out to bid on UShip.com . You may have to wait a bit, but this was a reliable way to get my GEM truck shipped to VT from NC (~$700), and a tractor...
