As I've mentioned, I've found the Gizmo to be very reliable. The fact that there's no dealer network to "drive it in and drop it off", to me, is offset by its...
Dear Gizmo Users and Interested Parties, In response to the recent postings about Gizmo problems, I would like to add the following: Regarding the message from...
Thanks for all the information, Carl! I think it's only fair for the affected owners to take a "show me" attitude at this point, but you gotta admit... Carl's...
Carl has definately had an extremely fast turn around and an awesome response time for warranty service. I just happen to be the small percentage of "error" in...
Hello, Gizmans. :-> Just a note about my Gizmo. My wife was grinding it up the driveway and hung it up on an embankment. She gunned the throttle, and the ...
I last broached this subject in August of last year. With the rapid rise of gasoline prices, I wonder if Carl has undertaken R&D for a more "family oriented"...
Hello everyone; I purchased an excellent new digital charger today that costs only $40.00 (on sale at Menards). This charger is the first of its kind for...
Hey Rob, Do they by chance have a similar charger for 6 volt batteries? My Gizmo uses 8 6 volt Trojans and I would love a way to equalized the individual ...
Hi Bill; You can use this charger to equalize a string of two of your batteries is series. Even when I equalize my 12V batterys, electrically, it is a series...

Hi Larry; I own a new Gizmo and I ordered from NEVCO the Trojan 120 AH 12V group 31 batteries. I live in Naperville Il. which is very similar to your weather....
Thanks for your replies, Andy and Robert. I did mean six 8-volt batteries, such as the Trojan t-875. I would consider the t-105 6 volt setup but I can't...

Ken, I think the best direction is the six 8V T-875s. We don't have a way to increase the size of your battery box, and the six batteries would be the most...
Thanks for your suggestions, Carl and Andy, Further investigation into the t-875's indicates that they also are too large to fit more than 5 into the battery...

Hi all: I've been interested in, but never diligently pursued, the idea of an electric vehicle for a long time. I am frustrated that so many "normal" car...

It would be interesting to learn the expected performance of a Gizmo as we build our passive solar home in S. Colorado. We will be about 4.4 miles from the...
Dave, A Gizmo would have no trouble with the route you have described. The larger battery pack of lead acid batteries weighs 480 lbs and has a range of about...
Carl, The lighter pack sounds like a good idea and I had already decided to avoid the road out to the next town 15 miles away with traffic speed increasing to...

Dave, The smaller pack I was referring to is made up of six flooded 8 Volt Trojan T-875s. They are “traction” batteries similar to the T-105s but with...
