Re: 2006 Precedent--Refurbish/upgrade or Buy New?
Here are a few photos to show where I'm starting.
The Sunbrella seat and back fabric is still in good condition, but you can see the vinyl sides on the seat have cracked. Oh, and the cooler is too small to be useful--I'd like to get a bigger one, and I need new sand bottles. Would like to upgrade wheels and tires--what are the pros/cons of 8" vs 10"?
The scuffs don't really show up, but the windshield really reduces visibility when it is in the up position.
The 6 8V batteries are pretty crusty. The seat base is plywood (I understand some are plastic?) I've jury rigged an accessory plug--I would like a 12V accessory outlet using the battery charger type connector (besides the lighter), USB charging ports, and if possible a 120V AC inverter outlet so I can use the batteries as emergency back up for our freezer when we lose power.
I'm pretty sure there is no regenerative braking, which is something I would like to have especially if I upgrade to Li ion.
