On Friday night at school, we got our red 48V Citicar going. With
an advisor from a local electric forklift service co., he verified out
wiring. We lifted the back of the car and tested the motor and it went
well so then we proceded to the road test. Out into the school parking
lot we drove, getting lots of attention.
The car only seemed to have the lower two speeds with no top end.
Floored it would only go twenty so we think the can solenoid is bad.
All in all, I was very happy to get this car going after about a month
or two of after school work on it.
The batteries we are using out GNB opportunity charge. Our advisor
said that since they are sealed batteries, the charger in the car is
not ideal and he would look into it. Any similar problems around here?
