Can someone direct me to an aftermarket website to purchase a potentiometer for a 1999 GEM rev 2 48Volt vehicle?

Thanks ahead of time.

I believe the accelerator pot for a 48 is the same as 72 - not 100% sure

Check this post. the pot is for a welder control

oops my bad. I changed the address, go back and try again.

This pot is available from Linemaster The throttle control is a control for an arc welder.

Google Linemaster.

The GEM part #s are unique but are for the most part generic. The Generic is usually 10% of the GEM list price.

If your pot is not rusted away you might save it by drowning in WD40.

Thank you all for the feedback. I will check the detail on what I have, the thread and let you know. GEM wants $440.00 for the entire assembly!
