1980 ElectraVan

Saw this on Craigslist, look cool. Electric van from jet. Looks like you need to be 4 ft tall to drive:D

Not sure were to post so move if in wrong place

Too bad range wasn't better. Won't get me to work. :(

Nice find. Cool little vehicle.

The battery pack could easily be replaced by a lithium one for whatever range you wanted. Its just a matter of how much to spend...

I'm 6 feet tall and fit in the drivers seat, roof rib above the drivers seat just rubs my head when I sit full upright, other then that it's very comfortable, I didn't bother sitting in the passenger seat or back seat to see how it was but everything else about the van seemed to be in order.

Wonder what top speed is?

Others say 60mph with 1,100 pounds of lead acid batteries, so about what it would do as a gasoline van, a few people said that if they bumped the voltage up to 120v that it would go 70mph, but most people who did this also were putting in lithium batteries so they were dropping the vehicle weight.

I'm 6`3" and 260...... would I fit?

Hard to say, it has more head room, it's just where I had the seat set for my body size and now I sit in vehicles, my head hit, but my head hits on a lot of vehicles, so if your arms are long enough that you sit just a few inches back you might be ok.

doesn't matter, wife said no (:
