Torque Output: Varies by model, generally high for electric motors providing quick acceleration at low speeds. Battery System Voltage: Typically 36V, 48V, or 72V DC (depending on model and battery chemistry). Chemistry: Lead-acid or early Lithium-ion (LiFePO4) common in this period. Manual likely covers maintenance for both. Charging System Charger Type: Onboard charger, AC input. Fuel System Type: Electric (N/A for gasoline/diesel) 🔧 Transmission Standard Type: Single-speed reduction gear (Direct drive or single reduction gearbox) Optional Type: N/A (typically single-speed for LSVs) Features Fluid Type: Specific gearbox oil (e.g., SAE 75W-90 synthetic or similar, manual will specify) Fluid Capacity: Specific capacity to be found in the manual. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Length: Varies by GEM model, typically compact (e.g., 8-10 feet). Width: Varies by GEM model, typically narrow (e.g., 4-5 feet). Height: Varies by GEM model, typically around 5 feet. Weights Curb Weight: Varies by model and battery configuration (e.g., 800-1500 lbs). Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: Varies by model, designed for low speeds and limited passenger capacity. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Results: LSVs generally have different safety standards than full-size vehicles; manual will detail relevant safety equipment and construction. Active Features Braking System: Hydraulic disc brakes (front) and drum brakes (rear) are common. Regenerative braking integrated with motor. Steering: Rack and pinion steering, often with power assist (electric). Passive Features Seat Belts: Standard 3-point seat belts. Body Structure: Reinforced chassis and safety cage construction typical for LSVs. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Features: Basic dashboard instrumentation (speedometer, battery level, odometer), potentially AM/FM radio, depending on trim. Driver Assistance Features: Limited. Primarily focused on the driving experience of an LSV. Electric power steering might be present. Connectivity Features: Typically no advanced connectivity features like Bluetooth or smartphone integration. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Battery Check: Regular inspection of battery terminals, connections, and electrolyte levels (if applicable) – detailed in manual. Brake Inspection: Recommended every 6 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Manual will specify precise intervals. Tire Rotation: Recommended every 5,000-7,500 miles. Manual will provide specific guidance. Suspension Check: Annual inspection for wear and tear on bushings, ball joints, and shock absorbers. Fluid Specifications Brake Fluid: DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid (specific type to be confirmed in the manual). Gearbox Oil: Specific...
