A custom built reduction gear box connects via the original tailshaft to the differential and rear wheels. The vehicle has full regen braking activated by the brake pedal and driver adjustable.

BMS is 8 x Zeva BMSv3 modules each monitoring and balancing voltage and temperatures of 12 cells and displaying on an EVMS3 monitor in the vehicle cabin.

This labour of love is for sale to a genuine EV enthusiast who would like an around town daily driver and can handle a bit of tech work.
