My SuperBrightLEDs arrived today, for the brake and taillight. I wanted bright, so I ordered a 5w luxeon for the brake light and a 3w for the taillight. Oh...
Hi Fred, Did the 3W LED's heat sink contact the brake light reflector? Mine did and it broke the glue which held the heat sink to the base. I haven't found a...
Hey Everyone, I was driving the Gizmo the other day and noticed that the left fender was touching the tire occasionally. I found this odd since this had never ...
When I pushed the bulb into the socket, it did make contact, but when I rotated and engaged the bayonet, it pulled away slightly. I'll have to examine it the...
Chris, can you get a photo or two either in the library here, or sent directly? I don't have any contact points, but I very much will examine that area you...
Sure thing Fred. Here is a link to the picture: http://picasaweb.google.com/cpavlas/Gizmo/photo#5232581512077516306 I got this fixed by a master welder, and he...
Great photo, Chris. I'll have to take a look at mine in that location when I drag it out of the garage and into the sun next time. I've not looked at the...
Hi Chris, That is too bad about the break & shock ring. On my Gizmo another triangular brace was added to the other side and it seems to be doing fine. Did you...
I just checked the vehicle, rather than wait to push it into the sun. My flashlight provided enough illumination :-) to learn that it has only the triangular...
Sure, here is a link to the new weld. http://picasaweb.google.com/cpavlas/Gizmo I cant put a new shock ring on because the shock is one piece welded, and there...
Fred, The picture Chris put up shows support similar to what I have on mine. It looks like the welder added something to the lower side too. I'd take a picture...
Hello Gizmo owners; I have done two things to help with tthe seat comfort. I added a 1/2 inch layer of foam rubber to the fiberglass seat and still was able to...
Hi Robert, That is a great idea. Could you take a picture of the foot rests and post them on your evalbum entry? Also, while there you may want to update the...
A popular foam for uncomfortable seats is called Temperfoam. Very expensive, comparatively speaking and quite dense. It's the same stuff in these Tempur-pedic...
... [snip] ... I think that means you are a normal new Gizmo driver. I went through the same thing and find that I relax most of the time now. Same thing with...
I had a client visit scheduled for this morning, but was going to pedal, since I've been getting lazy. Another phone call turned it into a pickup trip, and my...
Fred, When you get a reading off the Kill-a-Watt meter let us know. I'm curious how your consumption compares to mine. I've been keeping a log book recording...
I kept an eye on the charge sequence to make sure I had a good reference. It charged for about five hours and the math came out to less than a hundred fifty...
The Electric Vehicle Discussion List (EVDL) has a recent thread regarding driving off with the charge cord engaged. Our Xebra has an interlock, but it would...
Specifically, it was 2.65 kw over the five hour period for 17.85 miles, calculated out to 148.5 wh/mile at the electrical outlet. This particular trip was also...
I haven't ever had that happen. The cord is so darn obvious, that its hard to ignore. From: gizmo-users@yahoogroups.com [mailto:gizmo-users@yahoogroups.com] On...
I haven't forgotten the charge cord, either. Maybe in full size EVs the charge cord should be mounted by the driver's door handle like it is on the Gizmo :). I...
The best I have gotten is 198 Wh/mi from the wall plug. That was on a 5.0 mi trip which included a 2 mi coast down my hill, a little city, and then 2+/- miles...
Until some BugE owners begin to post figures, I'd bet the Gizmo has the best economy of any EV out here. ( not counting e-assist bikes) I suppose the Vectrix...
Hello Gizmo users, I have made a short video and uploaded it to You Tube which shows the modifications I have made for seat confort, floor pedals and a battery...
... that has verticle lines running thru it) to add a little friction so the grocery bags do not slide around as much during turns... I have the lines going...
Well, not news but certainly braking. Every time I hear my disks squeal, I think about replacing them. Then I think about how no one seems to have a valid...
If you look in the Gizmo parts list, I thought it shows a distributor that carries the proper brake pads. It is not custom. The only custom part is the brake...
I was lucky enough to get my used Gizmo with a set of brand new pads and they are pretty much standard stuff. The disk is what I'd like to replace, but what...
