Re: I Don't Know What It Is But I Am Going To Restore It:
Making some headway on this cart. Painting is complete. We did the roof (inside and outside) in a white tinted bed liner which came out nice. We cut new floors as well and squirted those with standard black bed liner. That was the first time I ever used one of those bed liner guns. It worked great.
The motor is out of the cart and with my motor guy. I was afraid to power it as the wiring was pretty much bare in many places. It was made by a company called "Rochester Electric Motor Company" and I can find little information on this company. That said, the motor guy said he can probably get it restored. It won't be cheap but that's ok. I had intended to fabricate my own seat for this thing (which I have done before with some decent success) but, in exploring some off-the-shelf options, I noticed that the needed seat dimensions matched the rear seat of a Jeep Wrangler pretty closely. I picked up a new Jeep seat and it fits pretty much perfectly. |

That thing is looking great! Good choice on colors!
What brand bed liner did you use? |

Of note, I used much more material than I expected. It took 2 liters for the roof and 4 liters for the floors as I did the inside of the trunk area as well. It wasn't the cheapest endeavor ($100 for the roof and $150 for the floors) but the results speak for themselves. |

Re: I Don't Know What It Is But I Am Going To Restore It:
The Sports Rider is on the road and just about done. This ended up being a 24v cart as 6 batteries can't fit in the tray. That said, I put 4 8v in there so I am running 32 volts. It runs well. Just about 15 mph on a flat.
I still have some nickel and dime stuff to do, mainly the lights. Note that this had a windshield on it when I acquired it. I am not sure yet if I am going to replace it, though. It's kind of nice having with wind blowing in when driving. Especially when it's hot out. I'll post some pics of the motor / electrical areas when I get some more time. |
