Torque Characteristics: Instantaneous torque delivery characteristic of electric motors. Fuel System Charging System: Onboard charger, requiring standard AC power input for battery replenishment. Battery System Battery Type: Lead-acid batteries were common for this generation of GEM vehicles, with potential for upgrades to Lithium-ion in later life. Battery Voltage: Commonly 48V or 72V systems. 🔧 Transmission Standard Type: Direct Drive / Single Speed Reduction Gearbox Optional Optional Types: Not applicable for this model; single-speed is standard for NEVs. Features Gear Selection: Forward, Neutral, Reverse (controlled electronically) Fluid Specifications Reduction Gear Oil: Specific lubricant type and capacity would be detailed in the manual, likely a gear oil meeting certain viscosity and additive requirements. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Length: Varies by specific variant (e.g., 2-passenger vs. 4-passenger), but generally around 90-110 inches. Width: Typically around 50-55 inches to meet NEV road legal requirements. Height: Generally around 70-75 inches. Weights Curb Weight: Approximately 500-800 lbs, depending on battery configuration and options. Payload Capacity: Typically around 300-500 lbs, depending on variant. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Information: As an NEV/LSV, crash testing standards differ from full-size automobiles. The manual would detail safety features relevant to its classification. Active Features Braking System: Hydraulic disc brakes (front and rear) or drum brakes, depending on variant and configuration. Regenerative braking may also be integrated. Passive Features Seatbelts: Standard 3-point seatbelts for all occupants. Rollover Protection: The body structure provides some degree of rollover protection, as detailed in the manual. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Features: Basic instrumentation (speedometer, battery charge indicator, odometer), potentially a basic radio or accessory power outlet. Driver Assistance Features: Limited to basic vehicle control systems; no advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) expected for this era and vehicle type. Connectivity Features: No integrated connectivity features (e.g., Bluetooth, smartphone integration) are expected. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Battery Maintenance: Regular checks of water levels (for lead-acid), terminal cleaning, and proper charging are critical. Specific intervals for inspection and potential replacement. Brake Inspection: Recommended at regular intervals, typically based on mileage or time (e.g., every 6-12 months). Tire Rotation: Recommended every 5,000-7,500 miles for even wear. Suspension And Steering Checks: Periodic inspections for wear and tear, typically annually. Fluid Specifications Brake Fluid: DOT 3 or DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid (specific type to be confirmed in manual). Coolant: If applicable for battery thermal management, the manual will specify coolant type and mixture ratio. Known Issues Battery Life And Degradation: A common characteristic of lead-acid batteries used in NEVs of this era; manual...
