Hmm, yes, I was talking about the Citicar. I didn't know the Commutas were so different. I might have a source for 13" wheels/tires. Very nice Italian made...

Peter - I'm using an Alltrex AXE 7234 on my 3-1/2 HP C-Car, but subsequently Alltrex recommended I should have used an AXE 7245P. Even though I am using (and...

I think your batteries are performing pretty well. It would be useful to know the voltage under load when the contactors were 'chattering'. It helps to have a...
