I'm the not too proud owner of this. It's a 3 wheel electric vehicle, registered as a motorcycle, that was made in 2007 and has 18,000 miles on it. Made in China and it shows. It is pretty clean and has 2 year old AGM batteries in it. Has anyone had any experience with one of these? Parts seem to be close to non-existent, but it is a simple system. 40 mph and 25 mile range.

There was a dealer for those and the zap pick ups about a mile down the street from me. Went out of biz but may be a few left down there if your looking for something. I've seen a few all scrapped up on the side like they rolled over. How stable are they?

It's more stable than the Reliant....
It also has 700 pounds of batteries at axle level, so the center of gravity is pretty low.

That sounds like a dare?

It's a 2007 and I'm the third owner and have put 10 miles on it in the last 4 days. First owner put 18,000 miles on it commuting 5 miles a day each way to work. Second owner put 150 miles on it in a year.
