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...
Hi Fred, I had a challenge getting insurance for my Gizmo, too. I hunted for a while and I think that Allstate might have been one willing to give me a...
... equil.rate,it ... my ... on ... I just talked to that company's tech guy and he admitted that equilizers only are needed as the batteries age. I noticed...
I understand that no "formal" wiring diagram is available for the Gizmo. I'd love to be told otherwise, of course, and given the opportunity to acquire one. ...
That's a piece of valuable information, Robert. It makes sense that a battery can have a "natural" level, but one hopes that the level will be close enough to...
Good day all, Last night, when I left the Gizmo on stands in the garage, mostly out of frustration, I was not sure how to proceed. I neglected to note in my ...
Latest development, the wheel turns! After posting the last message, I took the key switch out and put it back in, checking the controller LED each time. No...
Hi Fred; I checked my Gizmo and the 48/12V converter is on always also. I do not think this is a wiring error. This converter should draw negligible current...
In the last Gizmos built, the accelerator is a hall effect switch. It never actually gives an off signal. The controller requires an "off" signal to run...
This is encouraging news all around. Knowing that the converter is always on helps, along with the information regarding the voltmeter. The meter is a 12v...
I have Gizmo #31. This Gizmo has a D&D SepEx motor and Sevcon PowerPak controller. Through trouble shooting intermittent drive cutout issues over the past...
That's a curious "glitch" in the brain department. When I read the original post, I probably saw the word "diode" but converted it to "resistor" in my alleged...
I have noticed an increase in the people stopping to ask me questions about the Gizmo. I called two local newspapers and their response to do a story was...
Those were great stories, Robert! We haven't reached four bucks a gallon here yet, and I probably won't drive around the pumps when it does, but I really like...
My windscreen had clearly visible scratches from the windshield wiper. I've had experience with Lexan polycarbonate before and I'm aware just how soft and...
I've been doing a little more fine tuning on the Gizmo and today found the vehicle with the canvas and vinyl windows installed, along with some plastic splash...
My Gizmo uses extruded U-nuts, of the 10-24 variety. Some of them were getting to be in bad shape, since I've been taking the fenders off and on a lot. I found...
In my research of the Gizmo, I've seen reference to wheel bearing problems, so I pulled the wheels off last week sometime. Front wheels only, since the back...
Hi Fred; When you are tightening those nuts, is this putting pressure on the center bushing portion of the wheel sealed bearing? I noticed that my Gizmo (#29,...
Robert, From what I've been able to determine, the axle carries, from the inside out, a spacer, the inner race of the bearing, a longer spacer, the inner race...
I am in the process of purchasing a used Gizmo from a good friend. Just picked up a new motor from Carl to put in it, since a small short was inadvertently...
Hi Fred and all; The tires are hard to find because the rims are 12" diameter. The P145/70 is also a very narrow tire. For my windows, I roll them up using a...
hey, that's great! Another Gizmo on the road and active to the group too. What number Gizmo is it? I understand the VIN carries the serial number in the last...
