Hi John, What street in Poway are you talking about? (I live in PB.) From my experience, it depends on the street (how many lanes and how busy it is). I stay...
I solved that issue on my '01 with an electronically controlled outlet. In the winter months it shuts down for 5 minutes and restarts every Mon, Wed & Fri at...
Hi Guys, Was getting ready to "shim rear wheel" to correct right outside tire wear, but unable to repeat the, "square", check of my first post, I started...
Hi Guys, Trying to understand the charging process, the more information I get the more confused I am? To start with I bought a used 06 e2 GEM from private...
Magie, The E825 model was sold in 2004 and prior. I happen to have a 2002 E825. The E2, E4, EL designations began in 2005. So the Owner's Manual you have is...
Hi John I can relate to your 40/45 mph street. I live in a retirement community with 25 mph streets. However the street to get out and into town is 45 mph for...
Hi Al, Thanks, I'll go there. How about elaborating on your 2002 E825 Utility (short bed) with 8.5hp motor plus 14" wheels and 23" OD tires, as to top speed,...
Magie, After my first pass at reprogramming the motor controller in E825 Utility, its top speed appears to be ~35mph. I say ~ (approximately) because I don't...
not to beat down on zap (esp as i have never driven and/or worked on one) but from what i see and hear as to how they run that company, biz dealings w/...
was curious if anybody also heard that Miles will not, after all, offer a high-speed plug in (i dont remember the model name of the car) i know im asking an EV...
I guess it gets confusing. The 2005 owners manual says to charge it and turn it off. The 2006 owners manual (it's all on GEM's web site) says you can leave it...
There is also an electric three wheel motorcycle made in Eugene Oregon called the Gizmo. It is licensed as a motorcycle and is therefore legal to drive on...
Nor have I ever even seen one in person, but I spoke with a few people who test drove one and they all said it was the most frightening experience of their...
It's still on their web site: http://www.milesev.com/#hsv.swf Although they've been touting it for a while now. It's some foreign car model we don't have here....
The info I have is from a reliable source. There are 26 or so units of these full ev's that either just arrived or soon to arrive at an eastern seaboard port...
NEVCO is out of business and has been for some time. Some of the guys behind this car, which is not a NEV by the way but a fully enclosed motorcycle, are now...
I think the GEM has the most bang for the buck.. I can't see paying the big bucks for a car that doesn't do more.. yes.. it looks like a golf cart.. doesn't...
We have a few places like that in Houston. I try not to be a hazard but have had no difficulty just going on down it and getting out of the way. We have not...
alright well thanks. that certainly suggests they are moving forward with it. gracias ... From: Scott Southard <GemCarDoors@...> Subject: RE: [NEVs] Miles...
I live on a big hill and I bumped my amps from the standard 400 to 500 for the climb. We (Columbia and I) also modified the program to handle the hills a...
Hilly is relative. I live in the La Crescenta CA foothills and have had no problem at all with my Zenn. Expect an impact on the range. ... From: neensterz...
Hi Rick I think you are right. I run mine a few miles almost every day, and recharge overnight when the green lines are down 50%. I haven't found a 06 owners...
I've seen them, I've driven them........best for me not to comment as I AM an EV advocate. At least they are trying to produce them, although they are not...
Hello, I just joined this group after recently purchasing a used 2001 GEM 4 seater. I'd been admiring these cars for a long time so when I found a used one...
I replaced the wet cell batteries in my 2002 GEM after 5 years of use and approximately 5000 miles of use in a gated community.. I use it every day and charge...
Welcome I took the liberty of sending you a long mail with some tips, I figure If you are completely new to GEMs then I rather keep this topic short to all...
Umm, are you only plugging it in when it gets down to 50%? Quit doing that and charge it after every trip. Rick ... From: magie02qd <magiecd@...> Subject:...
Welcome to GEM ownership. It sounds like your batteries are getting near the end of their life. The date code will be stamped on the negative terminal of a...
