I drove it, everything seems to work, the battery display looked good on the display screen, but will the battery pack have a date stamp or anything on it? I don't even know how to access the pack on this thing lol, but if I figure that out is there anyway to tell by looking if it's been replaced? Being at the auction, there won't be any history or anything with it, I'll just have to buy it as it sits, so if I can see if the battery is newer then I will pay more for it.
What is that black plastic thing in nose/bonnet? Wind deflector? I have always been skeptical about these tings - it probably makes aero worse not better.
