| OVERVIEW: We (Green Rides) had this hot rod custom built for us by eRoadsters last year (2008). To our knowledge, there are only 2 of these electric hot rods in existence. We've had a little fun with it and it's now time to let it go to a new home. This electric vehicle isn't like an average NEV (neighborhood electric vehicle). This hot rod is a ton of fun to drive and is truly unique. It's in near-new condition (only a little over 200 miles on it) and ready to enjoy. CONCEPT To provide a unique custom built urban vehicle for around town errands, commuting or just plain fun, that is reasonably priced & economical to use and maintain. The 1932 Ford Hi-Boy Roadster is the most popular Hot Rod style. It offers a simple fender less body, lightweight and offers that open wind in your face ride. The eRoadster, conceived to be the next step up from a NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle), which are currently available and are restricted to a top speed of 25 MPH and can only be driven on streets posted 35 MPH or less. The eRoadster, “Town Roadster” is a scaled down real Hot Rod that is economical to drive and has almost no maintenance to worry about. It charges at home from any 120 Volt, 15 to 20 amp household electrical receptacle over night. It fits right in at the local Malt Shop, Custom Car / Hot Rod Show and get togethers. The eRoadster also makes a good Companion Vehicle for that Motor Home. It’s small, environmentally clean and can be charged off the Motor Home Generator.
