Ok, No problem. I'm not the "chatty kathy" type anyway. It was just a little different than some of the experimenter groups I belong to. After reading all the...

... Hi, all. It looks like it's time to replace the brake pads on my Gizmo. My trusty service manual says to use a Brembo brake pad set 20.6950.10. Brembo...

Andy, Apparently, the manual lists the number for the caliper as the number for the pads as well. The pad number is 107.6949.10. If you have trouble ordering...

The timing of our $3/gal gasoline cost wasn't timely enough to give companies like what built the Gizmo a fighting chance. I telecommute from my home now, but...
... Hi, folks. I've been meaning to send out some thoughts on the Gizmo as a business. I think Nevco created far and away the single best instance of an NEV ...

All good points Andy! This is an off-list reply. Too bad the best all around storage batteries these days are the heavy one's not meant to be on wheels. I ...
Hello to all Gizmo owners, We recently repaired a Gizmo that was apparently damaged by hitting a deep pothole while traveling too fast in reverse. This may...
Carl, I have had a great time with my Gizmo, but now that I have retired I am considering getting rid of it. It has been months since I have used it, and, to...
As a thought, you might wish to add "NEVCO" to the Yahoogroups search engine. On my own groups, I added this sort of thing in the group description. It'd make...
If you haven't sold your vehicle, drop me a line at mperry@.... That charging prob is common for bulk chargers. They work wonderfully, so long as all the...
Perfectly worded, Andy. Cost was my concern, and still is. The Gizmo is built so well that it's difficult to imagine it selling for less than it did,...

I recall seeing one of the later model Gizmos. I was shown how the side panel would come off, remove a couple bolts, and was told the battery box could be...

It certainly made the first trip to work and back with no problems at all. Hopefully the batteries will still give me a good bit of service before they need...
