| Power |
12 6-volt heavy duty batteries in two banks, plus 12 volts for lighting, operating turn signals and windshield wipers. Batteries can be fully recharged in 8 to 10 hours. Battery charger operates from 110 volt A.C. outlet. |
| Motor |
Large frame-size traction type electric motor. |
| Control |
Six step control. Foot pedal operates control, varying speed of motor, exactly as in a gasoline-powered car. |
| Speed |
Maximum speed of 30 miles per hour. Can be increased to about 40 M.P.H. with sacrifice of mileage per charge. |
| Range |
40 miles per charge if run constantly and 50 to 60 miles if operated with stops of 15 minutes or longer to allow the batteries to regenerate. The range can be extended even further if it is possible to plug into a convenient outlet while parked. |
| Final Drive |
Direct from motor to reduction gears and rear axle. |
| Suspension |
Independent 4 wheel suspension. Front suspension -- large coil springs around direct acting shock absorbers. Torsional stabilizer. Rear suspension -- coil springs mounted close to wheels. Automatically variable spring rates for all load and road conditions provided by air suspension units mounted between swing axles and frame. |
| Two Pedal Control |
Accelerator and brake pedal leave floor uncluttered. Since the accelerator is actually a switch, no power is lost or wasted waiting for traffic to move or lights to change.
Brakes are no-face Lockheed hydraulic with 9" drums on all 4 wheels. Mechanical parking brake located on floor between front seats acts on rear wheels. |
| Steering |
Rack and pinion. 24-to-1 ration, with return spring. 15' turning radius. |
| Shifting |
The controls are completely automatic. To change direction from forward to reverse is accomplished by shifting the switch located in the center of the dashboard from the forward position to the reverse position and depressing the accelerator. |
| Simplified Dash |
Legible, lighted speedometer. Voltmeter and ammeter show amount of power being used. Windshield wiper switch, horn, directional signal lever within finger reach of steering wheel. |
| Seats |
Two-passenger, semi-bucket type. Fully adjustable by fingertip control. Resilient zig-zag springs padded with thick foam rubber. |
