pics of my car

[BobDeere]

ok.. here is the gem !




maybe you electric guy know of these car? is in southern Sweden 700 km from me
the car "says the owner " is in good condtion" but the battery are shot.. he told me that happen
during the winter when it was very cold..
my idea for the car is very simple
i live 3 km from the village center and use to go there at least once a day for sending parcell to my customers " i made messerschmitt and Vespa/Lambretta parts"
so i really dont need that long range.. so i was thinking for now to put some ordinar leisure batteries
around 90 amp. i can found those from around 110 € each

can you see by the look of the car what model it is ? seems to have the newr battery configurations
maybe u have the stronger /faster motor?

i know these is a newbie question.. but is t a quick easy way to tune it so i can do at least 60 or maybe 70 km/h?

thanks for the help and Tschuss !

Hi again,

each car has a number. When you open the EL you find the number at the under part near the front on the right.

I think the batterys are lead-Gel with 90 or 100 Ah. Please don´t use ordinary batterys which used for starting a car for the City el. They will work for a very short time!!!!! This is only an Option for testing, if the CityEL really works.

If you use Lead-Gel (Zyklenfest!, I don´t now the english word) for one battery you have to pay about 180 €. Better Options are LiPo or NiCD

hi
thanks for the tip..
but if i just want to see the engine works i can try the first times with ordinare car batteries
the during the winter ill get better proper batteries..

if you are sometimes over to Sweden it wouldnt be that expensive to send the batteries.

[BobDeere]

[BobDeere]

for the batteri what about these one? "found on Biltema"
http://biltema.se/sv/Bil---MC/Bilreservdelar/Elsystem/Batteri/AGM-batteri-80700/


or these one "should last 450-500 cycles"
http://biltema.se/sv/Bil---MC/El/Batteri-ovriga/Underhallsfritt-batteri-80100/

Hi guys!
finally im back home with the car..
it looks greeat!
i promise to put pics of it tomorrow "after i wash and wax her "
the guy i bought the car from seems to not know so much abouth it.

can you please help me out with a few question..?

i found a 220 volt contact under my seat. is the charger fitted there?
the car have not a license plate and the owner say it goes around 30 km/h top speed
as i understand the car is registered as moped.
is it a easy way to make i go faster ? like the car registered CityEl that makes up to 60 ?

thanks for the help
Robert

 

[wolfgang dwuzet]

hy robert,
let us know more about your city-el,
which motor?
how many volt?
if you dont know that, sent pics
making faster is not a big prob
bye wolle

 

[Christian s]

I think Alan Lyman is very keen about city els and the scandinavian laws about them... maybe he allows you to contact him personally!

 

[Alan Lyman]

Hello Robert.

most CIty El´s in sweden is registred as moped.if you contact some of the other swedish cityel owners in sweden,they can tell you how to register as a car.I heard that the scandivavian importer here in DK,had to first register it here in DK,and then they could register it in sweden.dont know why.
If you take a picture of the things under your seat,I can help you getting it to drive faster.probably you have to remove a wire on the "strombegrenzer-pcb,as they could make it to not go faster than 30km/h.this is also used in Germany,when they here is also as a moped.

ok
here we go. the pics are 1 hour old
the car is a 1992 "S model ?"
it looks to be all there. nothing burn or cut or alter
i cant find any info of the motor so i just send you pics of it
the transmission is by doubble chain
as i wrote before i think the car was register as "moped" so it should make only 30 km/h
but i think " and hope that is easy to make it go faster..
there are a few question under some of the pics.
thanks for the help you all!!

i got a tip that i should take out the coals and make sure the fit properly before i start the car..
where can i find them?

it seem that 1 of the 3 batteries is i good condition
so for just testing it ill put 2 70 amps car start batteris
maybe i can see if the charger workds too?"

the oics above is the charger i suspect..
is it a way to see if its ok or broken?

btw.. how do you tall guys fix the sitting space ??
i was thinking to throw away the back padding and put a smaller one just at the end.
and put some padding around the round tube that goes across
if its ok.. i just have to plug in 3 batteries and then the cord to 220 v..yes ?

is it possible to adjust the pedal more forward?
im 180 long and they are little to narrow

 

[BobDeere]

sorry
forgot to upload the pic of the engine, here it is.

another question..
2 of the batteries are gone " the charger blinks so its something bad inside the batteries"
so i was thinking to connect the one good to 2 regular car batteries
but the only cable that are loose in the batteri bay are 2 black..!
how do i connect them?

 

[BobDeere]

another question
please see the pic.

im going to try start the car with 2 car batteri and one original " the other 2 are dead"
but how do i connect the batteri to the car? as you can see i have only 2 blacks cables
sticking out..

 

[BobDeere]

thank you so much for all the answers!

please look at these new pic.

what is the use of the contact i traced in red?
