I finally got the controller from Golf Tech, this time the 36- 48V/275A version that takes a 2-wire pot input (if you saw the pic of the previous version, it's...
Hello, Just found this small group this evening. I drive a Bombardier NV that I have owned about 2 months. Just did a battery change after two months of...
... Why did the batteries need changing, running out of steam or did some of them die? If I remember right, they use standard flooded golf cart batteries...? ...
Russell, I replaced the six 12-volt, group 27 size, AGM sealed Champion batteries with six flooded deep- cycle batteries because the original batteries ( I...
Found a neat 3-wheeled car that could be classified as a moped in some states (CA, at least), but they don't import it. Thought some might like to read their...
Hi, I just found this group. I have a Dynasty "IT", that lokks sort of like a New Beetle (Thinnner, taller, 4 door with more rear storage). It has a 72volt...
... I got to drive one about a year ago. It's a simple but comfortable vehicle, kind of a GEM with doors, but I just couldn't afford $12K, so that's why I...
The speed on the IT hasn't really been an issue, just the range in winter. I now know that I simply need to insulate the batteries, and the heat generated in...
Both the GEM dealer and the Think Neighbor dealers here in California offered me $2000 rebates up front if I would license my NEV for the street. They have...
... Hey, why not glorify the EZ-go, so you can have 2 NEVs?! Some of the cart dealers are doing this, but if yours is in good running shape (as compared to...
It is good to hear someone talking about actually using a NEV on the street, and it sounds as if you enjoy yours, but I'd like to clarify where I'm coming...
... Hi Dan, I've only met two other Ford Think Neighbor owners in the past two months. Shahram uses his in Los Angeles. He lives in Woodland Hills (my old...
John, How many miles do you average per charge on the Neighbor? Rob ... From: john_h_bowen To: NEVs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 9:22 AM ...
... Rob, there is a battery charge level display on the dashboard. I usually charge my Neighbor when it says 2 or less strips on a 5 strip display. That's...
Another E-Group for NEVs is called zapgem. They have nine members with GEMs, Neighbors and GEMs sold by Zap Scooters (before they went bankrupt). Our goals are...
Wow, 24 miles through LA traffic (48 miles round trip- clearly with time to charge up) is seriously impressive. It sounds like it can actually get 30 miles on...
John, Not bad, I get about 16 miles out of my Bombardier between charges and keep thinking about how to get a few extra miles. I believe the Bombardier has a...
Dan, My wife and I drive a Bombardier around town.... errands, school for my wife, restaurants, the grocery. We use it more and more...almost daily, a lot...
Rob, When I looked at the Think Neighbor at the showroom I saw that the batteries would be a real problem to service because of all the things covering them up...
The best way to get the most mileage out of an NEV is to drive with one person, charge for 12 hours, stay on flat streets and drive in the daytime. I can get a...
The charger on my Bombardier turns off after the batteries reach a certain state of charge. Actually it is a bit more complex than that because it has three...
The battery placement on Think's is nothing compared to the Bombardier's if I recall the details of an earlier post. It was described as requiring some sort...
My local Costco had a GEM 2-seater with prices for all the models, from $3999 for 2 seats to $4999 for 4 seats, with a short-bed and long-bed between. Sounds...
Last year, that same vehicle was selling for around $9k in the Boston area! Regards, Scott MacGregor EVdeals.com 9 South St. Plainville, MA 02762 Voice...
NEVs appear on a fairly regular basis on eBay. For example at the moment there is a Humdinger for sale in Hawaii (auction ends today) and at least 2 GEMs. I...
It is kind of interesting watching the NEVs on ebay. There have been some good sales lately, but then there are the owners who figure they hang tough on their...
Allow me to introduce myself. I learned about this group today and dropped in to see what was here. I'm retired, have an converted Ranger pickup and starting...
Links to the E-bay auctions are helpful, or at least interesting. The fact that street legal NEVs are being offered new at those kind of prices is awfully...
