% I am hoping an evdl member (or lurker) that is closer (more local) to Kilian can work with him (see his email address below), to help him acomplish his EV task. A web search https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=%22Harbilt%22+electric shows several links. A couple of scanned books: http://books.google.com/books?id=mZV8AwAAQBAJ&pg=PT159&lpg=PT159&dq=%22Harbilt+551%22+electric&source=bl&ots=5k7gpTqllp&sig=TPO4sSL4r771sX1jDVsRHSC55YA&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eEd2VNjOAc_voATpi4DYBw&ved=0CCAQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22Harbilt%20551%22%20electric&f=false http://books.google.com/books?id=nvabM3KXNsUC&pg=PA48&lpg=PA48&dq=%22Harbilt+551%22+electric&source=bl&ots=CiMEHFLYFk&sig=EibDV5m_BrqONVonYFfuHBrabB0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eEd2VNjOAc_voATpi4DYBw&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22Harbilt%20551%22%20electric&f=false talk about how these EVs were used in the UK and as Swiss Post Office vehicles (small light electric vans). Some images https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Harbilt%22+electric&biw=1024&bih=646&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=skd2VMu_OoXfoASJ5YC4DQ&ved=0CAkQ_AUoBA shows these came in several configurations (vans, garbage trucks, etc.) Perhaps Kilian could describe what he has, or better yet create a free EValbum.com page that has all the images and details. There is a book for sale http://www.abebooks.com/Harbilt-Electric-Trucks-Hakewill-Bob/13427766695/bd on Harbilt trucks I also found a Swiss ad for a Harbilt http://www.pinwand.ch/Hobby_Modellbau/Luzern.aspx Fasnachtswagen / Teewagen - Harbilt 551 [German>google.translate> English] Fasnacht cart / trolley - Harbilt 551 Carnival car with original Harbilt 551 - electrical chassis Includes 2 rechargeable battery batteries 140 Ah (C5) to a wash port - which was used as a tea makers - to place on the fold "wooden bridge" (it can be driven with erected wash port !) chimney pipe for affixes ... 6000 Lucerne LU | CHF 3,000 ... http://www.pinwand.ch/Fasnachtswagen-Teewagen-Habilt-551-134540.aspx [images (carneval/carnival model?) http://www.pinwand.ch/Bilder/134540/2.jpg http://www.pinwand.ch/Bilder/134540/1.jpg ] if it is not the same one, perhaps Kilian could contact them to gather more information and compare notes, etc. % Bruce {EVangel} Parmenter brucedp.150m.com (Near Silicon Valley, south of SF, CA USA) - On Wed, Nov 26, 2014, at 03:42 AM, Kilian Fischer via EV wrote: > We have bought an old HARBOROUGH Harbilt 551 for carneval in Lucerne > (Switzerland). > > Now we have to change the tire, update the electronic/battery etc. but we > don't have any information about this Harbilt 551. > > Can help somebody? > Does anyone have documentation or instructions? > What tire do we need?
