My 1976 48v model goes 35, and would have a 32 mile range with eight 6v batteries. I have six 8v batteries as I prefer less weight, so the maximum range is 24 miles. Went that far once. In general, I use it for 10 or so miles a day.
Upgraded to 72 volts, Citicars have been known to go over 50 MPH, but range will probably never be much more than 30-35 miles until Lithium becomes cheaper than the entire car...
Like that color!  |
well, I would mos def make it 72 volts just so I can go over 50 to get to work.
