Jimblob Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I've owned several GWizzes as they are extremely cheap and practical town transport. It's hilarious getting one into a space only half the size a normal car would need. Most old GWizzes fail because the software in the device controlling the charger gets corrupted and fools the owner into thinking that the batteries have failed, however it is easy to get around by permanently bypassing that device and putting in other means of charge control. To cut a long story short I am selling my 2 Gwizzes now. Both Gwizzes are black, DC motored, leather seats, alloy wheels. GWiz no.1 works fine and is in occasional use at the moment, with a range of 20-25 miles (new batteries would almost double this but cost around £1k). http://1drv.ms/1oPQ4TR GWiz 2 runs if you charge it up by some means as the original inbuilt charger failed. I tested it by charging it up via jump leads to GWiz no.1. It needs a powerful 48V charger (the original one burns about 2Kw I think). It also has air con (never tested it). One of the front brakes is sticking slightly, I think it just needs the drum pulling off, cleaning up and replacing, I was going to do it but can't be arsed at the moment: http://1drv.ms/10Ori0Z Open to negotiation but what I'm after is £1k for GWiz no.1 and £300 for GWiz no.2.Buy both and I'll knock off £100, or throw in a really solid A Frame so you can tow them home (one at a time obviously!). The A Frame has been used to bring both cars 55 miles from London to Cambridge without any drama (which is where both cars are now). Feel free to ask any questions or mercilessly rip the piss. I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig the Princess Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 What is the top speed realistically? Could one do a 16 mile round trip on quiet country B roads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimblob Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Top speed is 40mph, maybe 30mph up a hill. The later AC motored cars are a bit stronger and will do 50mph. 16 miles wouldn't be a problem. That's realistic, and the batteries tend to be better when they are used frequently (bit like normal car batteries) Craig the Princess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castros_bro Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I may be interested in the older one, first I have to check out the all singing all dancing free charging and free parking (next to the rubbish skip) at my place of employment. Do you have any more information on the inbuilt chargers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micrashed Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 40. Is that two up (or one lardy northerner up) or just one up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimblob Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Re. Chargers probably need to source another one or be creative. Lead acid batteries. Want a power supply of about 56v but lots of amps see spec for trojan t125 batteries online for a bit more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
