Hi Grant:
I’m currently out of country and will return back to La. in mid-March. In the intervening period, my plans are to order a 2020 GEM e2 in time for it to arrive upon my return. In that connection, I’m planning on upgrading to Rodney’s 12.3 transmission gear package. Based on your work, I’m also very interested in the 8KW motor & improved battery pack you mentioned are part of your testing with your 2016 model.
Assuming your upgrades will retrofit with the 2020 model, it makes sense for me to factory order the lowest priced battery, motor and tire options. This is in anticipation that they will be replaced with their upgraded counterparts.
In planning for these events, I’d be very appreciative if you could please continue to share the results of your testing on the motor and power package. These updates will greatly help to properly configure my upcoming factory order.
In the meantime, please let me know how I might help with your efforts.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to learning more about your progress with these upgrades!
Greg
