Selling my >35 year old electric cargo scooter.

Last year I bought a full electric scooter with the intention to use it on a garden complex. As it turned out I am not allowed to use this on our complex.

It turned out to be quite a discovery; a scooter running on 4 twelve volt batteries delivering 48 volt to power the engine. Its a timeless design, but looks as if it is a diy project. It was smuggled from China by a greenhouse plant importer a bit more than 35 years ago, the story goes its the only one available outside China.

It is in very good shape, the tires are like new and it has recently been upgraded with 4 brand new 12V97AH MK Power Gel batteries.

The electrical system is in need of some attention though, it has an internal charger for the batteries which is not working anymore.

Electric system needs attention.

The bike has two speeds (fast and faster) and a reverse, when you hit the brakes (on the rear wheels) the engine stops working, simple but very effective technology. :)

  

The scooter is located in Amsterdam.
