It contains sixteen 6-volt batteries and a 19hp
electric motor controlled by a Curtis 1221C controller.
More details about it are available
here.
So far I'm using it as a shopping basket and for commuting to
the local railway station. Unfortunately, because of the
Ngauranga Gorge, I don't think I'll be able to take it into
central Wellington until I get a charging arrangement sorted out.
Ross, who I bought it from, says it should do 40km per charge,
but that was in West Auckland where there are no hills to speak of.
This picture shows me (left) and previous owner Ross (right) with
the car on the day I took it for a test drive.
