I'm the high bidder at the moment!
-
Are you still the high bidder? You are welcome to free use of my aluminum car carrying trailer. With only minor effort, it carries sparrows, and was meant to carry very low to the ground race cars, so the Doran should not be a problem.
-
Yes I won it don't tell my wife, LOL I may take you up on the trailer. Thanks I'll give you a call
-
Ken - What did you get? the ebay link is gone.
-
EBay link still works for me;

Ken - I don't know how you are able to do this stuff, but congrats! When are you picking it up? When can we see it and what range do you expect?
-
Just get lucky once in a while I guess! it only has a range of 5 to 10 miles now there are 2 or 3 bad batteries. but should get 40 easily when repaired. Hoping to pick it up in 1 to 3 weeks.
-
Both links are working for me now... I love repeatable issues.
Anyway, cool mobile Ken. The price seems good too. Congrats!
-
Ken, how long are you going to be sleeping on the couch LOL. Looks like cool wheels. Tell your wife you bought it for her.
-
Thanks guys! that's funny Tim that's just what I said Honey it's an early mothers day gift..........me and the cat are enjoying late night TV from the couch! JK LOL! I really must work on my timing.
-
Ken, You have a Collectors item--Once you fix it up, everywhere you go with it,people will want to BUY it.
I can remember how NICE your RANGER Pick-up was!!!1 You made a GREAT INVESTMENT. Steve

SOS Insurance
My insurance agent "State Farm" doesn't want to insure the Doran. I was surprised! I know a member in southern Illinois built his own three wheeler was curious who he used. I believe he has a S10 electric too. Any ideas on this would be appreciated....................Oh Honey we have to move to Georgia......why?................to put insurance on our EV. LOL
Thanks, Ken
-
That's poopy Ken -
My State Farm agent in Burbank, IL might cover this. It just depends on which underwriter they use. Please send an email and I'll give you his contact info.

We know that Country Companies insure Sparrows and Myers NmG's.
-
Rich I will call them, Thanks I just wanted to start the insurance post in case anyone needs the info too.
-
Looks like a Freeway fell in love with a Sparrow. A great deal on a cool EV! What to name her? This was cut-and -pasted from Wickipedia...
"Electric Barbarella" is the 29th single by Duran Duran, and the first official single from the album Medazzaland.
OK, maybe not. It's an awful song.

Howard - I had no idea that you are a new wave fan! Coming of age during the 80s, it's songs and cheesy videos like these that I adore.
Long live DD!
By the way, my 2 favorite new wave songs for EVs are 'Electric Blue' (Icehouse?) and 'Electric Avenue' (Eddie Grant)

hey ken
on ebay motors page 16 under electric cars for sale had a manual for a 69(?) model
like yours fyi joe
-
Joe-
Can you give me an eBay item number, I could not find it? I suspect Ken would like to have it, but Ken is on the road (on his way to Marietta, GA to pick the car up and visit an old friend along the way,) He may not have internet access, although I could call him. He did borrow my trailer to bring the Doran back home.
-
>:well doggone it, it was on page 16 but I didn't get the
number and your right it's gone-it was going to expire
later tonight-it was under electric cars page 16
-
;D ;D hey rich and ken
there is another manual under ebay motors electric cars page 11
it's a doran never opened item #300544779107-----hope this works
for you--joe
-
Ken was out of town, driving down to GA to pick up the Doran, but he came back yesterday, and returned the trailer. He reports that at his height, he just about fits in the Doran, easier with the T-Tops removed. He'll work on lowering the seat, or finding a seat that mounts earlier. I'll email him about the manual you found. Thanks.
BTW, I used to have a bookmark at: http://search.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQtZvbQQsofindtypeZ4 (http://search.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQtZvbQQsofindtypeZ4) which is a link you can enter an eBay auction number, and go right to it. That link was one I used often enough to have it as bookmark in my toolbar. But several months ago, eBay added a new (relatively) unannounced feature that you can take that item number, and simply put it in a search bar.
To make this simple:
there is another manual under ebay motors electric cars page 11
it's a doran never opened item #300544779107-----hope this works
1) copy just the number from the message, in this case, just copy 300544779107
2) go to any eBay page that has a search box, and paste the 300544779107 into the search box, and hit the return key.
Now, it could not be much simpler.

Big Big Thanks Rich for the loan of the trailer, having the right equipment makes the difference! me and lil EV made it home safe and sound. Joe thanks that link work, had trouble finding page 16 anyways. JK I have that manual but thanks for watching out for it!
There is only one bad thing I'm to tall for the car, I will try to lower the seat or just run with the T top off, it has very nice instrumentation E meter and woodward display which shows the voltage of every battery, pretty cool.
Thanks again Rich!
EV ;D
-
Hey Ken, we need a few pic's of you in the car. Glad you made it home safely.
-
My Doran Three Wheeler is now legal to drive in the "wonderful" state of Illinois ;D I did use Country Companies here in Fox Lake
-
I just drove the Doran for over 8 miles, very cool. I swapped one weak battery and there looks like another is pretty weak. So if summer ever comes maybe I'll get 15 to 20. wishful thinking ;D
-
Ken, glad to hear you are having fun. Sounds like you lucked out, or I should say skilled out on batteries again on an AC purchase. I also wanted to tell you the EBike works great with the Honda generator and the automatic Schumacher battery charger. I can put the Honda on Eco setting and it holds the amperes at 10amps cart on blocks at top revolutions. Next week, we hope to take it for a drive outside if the weather gets nicer. Thanks Again for running the numbers and your confidence in the battery charger and generator.
