Small electric vehicle for sale
Downsizing and it is no longer used, my once well known "Wright Electric Flyer". A very useful vehicle for shopping and local trips. Has superb hill climbing ability and will manage all the local hills with ease. has 5 speed gears in drive system and uses a 900 watt/36 volt motor with full electronic controller. It has a very good suspension system with coil springs and shocks and is very comfortable to ride. Does 15 kph in bottom gear where it can be classified as a mobility scooter. All in good working order with all the data needed for future mods.
Uses 3 X 12 volt sealed lead acid 18 AH batteries which will need replacement (cost about $230). Complete with spares. Ideal project for those interested in electric vehicles. 2 Amp charger comes with it which charges it up in a few hours. Range? Well it went to Parakai and back several times and I live at the top of Te Kauri Place!
BTW it could be fitted with lithium batteries which would extend the range and improve the performance. Open to all offers as I would like it to go to a good home where it will be enjoyed.
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
