I was charged $91.00 for the pair, and then paid a local shop $63.00 for the machining. I did not check or change the rear wheel bearing. I read the process...
Hi All, I recently acquired a Gizmo which we went through and fixed with a new belt and some turning light. It's in very good condition with 9750 miles on it ...
I finally have a replacement for the original NORM circuit on my Gizmo. Mine started acting flaky and would leave me stranded frequently until I installed an...
Your blog entries are great reading, David. The headlight fix looks quite professional. Since you had to make the mold, do you have plans to sell a kit to...
Thanks, Fred. I have a few more pictures to upload now that I've painted the aluminum plate black so it won't show around the headlight. The idea was to make...
Hi Carl, et al, I need to replace the badly worn plastic type sleeve which goes around the bolt on each side of the main body where the top latches latch on....
I just took a quick look at http://www.smallparts.com/ <http://www.smallparts.com/> and they have a number of different types of tubing, some harder than...
I realize there aren't many of us Gizmo drivers active in this group. Perhaps we are all out driving our Gizmos! Since the trigger throttle is somewhat...
I noticed this because every time I open the hatch I see it. Also, I'm trying to get rid of the squeaks. I'll check out the link to see what I can find. Also,...
I generally use my index finger. Sometimes I use my middle finger but being a trumpet player I've never had any trouble with the sensitive throttle. Also, now...
We found these small tubes in an industrial supply catalogue and actually adjusted the size of the metal bolt so they would fit. We were trying to reduce the...
If all else fails, one could purchase a small quantity of heat shrink tubing for a reasonable price, cut to length and then heat it in place. The wear factor...
I hope you find them. Let me (us) know when you find them. I didn't think to get some when I got the Gizmo as they were showing some wear then. Now they are...
As of Wednesday May 20, 2009, Daytona Beach has collected from the sky twelve inches of rain. It seems that the roads are that deep in the water, but that...
The fault on the forward/reverse switch makes sense. The switch is located on mine in the bottom left front of the Gizmo. If this gets wet, which it sure would...
My forward reverse switch is on my dash panel, left side and the key switch under the left steering lever is power on, only. The other contacts are cut...
Please do not drive in such conditions unless you absolutely have to. After you have given the Gizmo time to dry out completely, it may resume working. In the...
I agree completely about not driving in such conditions. My velomobile has 3" clearance to the bottom of the cockpit and another two inches to my own bottom. I...
Since I didn't feel comfortable letting my pack sulfate while it dried out without a full charge, I took my air compressor hose and nozzle to the temp sensor...
what kind of a sensor did you put from the charger to the battery box? Howe did you get the wiring into the Gizmo frmae with all the stock wires in the metal...
The sensor is "required" by the Zivan charger to determine battery pack temperature to ensure it does not overheat, as best as I can detemine. I think I had to...
Hello Kev & Carl, In trying to track down a replacement controller, this is what I found so far. My controller blew up or grungily boiled over on the first use...
Hi Kelle, While my Gizmo #31 has a different controller and motor, going by its capabilities you probably have the Curtis 1205-201 Electronic Speed Controller,...
Thankfully, we just got a controller from Nevco. It's a Curtis 1205-209 (D) 36-48v. I am betting we have the car back on the road again this weekend. We will...
Hello Everybody - I have been a member of this group for a while but have never posted. I own a pizza retaurant in Minnesota and for the past five years I...
I just purchased a Gizmo from an owner in OR. (It's enroute now--being shipped on Federalcos.com--as a trike motorcycle or ATV.) I am interested in hearing...
Regarding insurance. I started in 2001 with Allstate insurance but after a few years they decided electric vehicles were too unknown..and not worth the risk. I...
When I first got mine, I was in Arizona. DMV was like a Saturday Night Live skit. First they said that Electric vehicle could not be registered, then said...
