Rear Facing Gem Seat? (w/photo)

NEV & LSV Forum

I think if you can get it for under a thou, it’s a good buy. We had to put new batts in ours and it cost about a grand. Overall the car is about the same as others we looked at for over $13000 new. I think a used GEM with dead batts can be found cheaply, and with the new batts is almost as good as new.

The rear facing seats would be great if you are at some kind of a fair. We had an electric car at the Solarfest in Vermont and it was great! We used the back as a kid carrier and got back and forth from the campground in it. It may not work as well on the road, however.

That’s exactly what I want to do. Those rear seat kits are only $400ish brand new. Mounting them is the trick.

I was thinking the same thing. It would be great for camp and such but I bet there is some legalities that come into it on the street.

you could always drop a dime on the seller and ask questions… looks like the car is plated… seat must be legal…

Just because it has a plate on it doesn’t make it legal. It could of been added anytime.

LOL. :slight_smile: Well, if there are no seat belts, that would be a dead giveaway that it is not legal.
It is a really nice looking GEM.
