Hello John, I thought I'd start at 6500$ without batteries. It's in very good shape and has under 2000 miles on it. Thanks! Kelle ... From: boycoolman...
Those of us on solar PV power alone aren't in such a good position to commute with an NEV if we want our house lights to function as well. In our community...
Hello to the group. I've recently taken delivery of Gizmo #30. I figure it's that number, based on my exhaustive reading of all the messages of the group, and...
Heelo Fred; I own a 2003 Gizmo with all the latest updates. (just like yours). I have only 1500 miles on mine and it is in mint condition. I have just ...
I've recently had the battery box sand-blasted and powdercoated and it looks marvelous! While I had part of the vehicle removed, I figured it would be a good...
Hi Travis; I just ordered 4 Trojan T-1275's for my Gizmo. Good to hear that they are working. I previously had 4 SCS225 (deep cycle marine Trojan). I got...
Thanks for the reply, Carl. That means that #30 has to be one of the later ones. I'm impressed to learn that 30 might be in use. Mine is in the garage,...
Robert, your video was the only one on YouTube that I could find, prior to posting my arrival video. It's clear to see that your Gizmo is in great shape. The...
Early on the Gizmo had small tires and a chain drive, when much of the literature was distributed. Subsequently, the larger wheels and tires added about 50...
Hello; I am rewiring my Gizmo's new Trojan T-1275 (150 AH) battery set. It looks like Carl at NEVCO originally used anchor brand welding cable (2 AWG copper)....
Thanks Carl, I recently found the GVWR portion of the VIN sticker. It's on the low side, based on my limited understanding of the meaning of the abbreviation...
Robert, I've been getting up-close with my new Gizmo and have discovered that some of the wiring is #4, while the battery interconnect cabling is #1. There's a...
Robert, My Gizmo, #31, came with #4 wire. A couple of connections were discolored from heat. I replaced all of mine with #1 wire and I gained 4mph at the top...
Hi Fred; I just received an email from Carl Watkins and some of the early new versioins (Sepex, sep. excited motor) were #2 AWG, and some were #4AWG. I think...
ouch! I hope they take care of your warranty. We had battery problems with the Xebra and had three fail in six months, with zero warranty. They probably sat...
I had the panels off the Gizmo today and decided to free up the parking brake cable and lever. I pretty much had everything lubricated and running freely....
The broken part to me looks like you might be able to weld it back, or solder it back into place. It almost looks like the part is soldered on to lead...
Fred.U Typically, parts in the parking brake assembly work indefinitely if you remember to adjust the brake in the brake "on" position. If you adjust it in...
... [snip] ... cable and his was all #4 or possibly even #6, I can't recall. My Gizmo is all #4 and Dave says that the field cables don't carry more than 50 ...
Fred, It looks like that part was brazed onto the cable. Since not all of the adjustment has to come from this end maybe there is a shop which could either...
Carl, thanks for the reply. I have a word document which is very exhaustive and has the proper method of adjusting the parking brake. Of course, reading it...
Robert, I thought about that too. Soldering is not a structural repair, but brazing could possibly be strong enough. I have a friend who could also TIG weld...
Hello, all! I took the trip into the local tag office, although this one is a contractor tag office. This means the experience is slightly more expensive, but...
... Hi Fred; What 4 battery string are you using? According to the website of the power check, you have up to 150 AH rating max. I am thinking about hooking 3...
I wasn't aware that the PowerCheqs had a max figure assigned to them. It's probably a good thing that these batteries are rated at 97ah@20c then. I've got two...
My wife has been in contact with our insurance agency. She gave them the VIN and was told it's an invalid number. I confirmed the number on the vehicle and the...
Hi Fred; In my application, the 6a will make a huge difference. Equilization takes place at 1% to 2% of batt. AH rating. So for my 150 AH T-1275, that...
