| Vehicle | 2002 GEM E825 Red and white 2 passenger car. | ||||||||
| Drivetrain | 5 hp motor. | ||||||||
| Batteries | 0.00 Volt, | ||||||||
| Heater | None | ||||||||
| Top Speed | 32 MPH (51 KPH) I just changed the stock 10" Street and Turf tires that came with it to Trailer wheels with a 21.9" diameter. This instantly improved all aspects of handling and ride, and gave me 6 mph more top speed without reprogramming the controller. | ||||||||
| Acceleration | It accellerates as fast if not faster than my Saturn gas car, that I now just keep for those freeway journeys. | ||||||||
| Range | 30 Miles (48 Kilometers) I've only had the car for a week (Aug 2006) so I don't really know it's true range, but I feel it's safely 25 miles. I did one trip of about 18 miles this week and came back reading 50% charge. | ||||||||
| EV Miles |
| ||||||||
| Seating Capacity | 2 | ||||||||
| Curb Weight | 1,850 Pounds (840 Kilograms) | ||||||||
| Tires | Tow-Master trailer tires on 12" Trailer rims, $240 for four from West Marine. | ||||||||
| Conversion Cost | $3,400 used, but with only 125 miles on clock. | ||||||||
| Additional Features | It has a great system of "PAKS" - interchangeable carrying packages that clip and unclip from the back of the vehicle, such as a truck-like bed, and a golf bag carrier. There's also a very large after-market of add-ons for this vehicle, which is great. | ||||||||
| I LOVE this little car, it is the ideal car for Alameda. I just didn't realize that about 80% of all my mileage was in short local trips. | |||||||||
