My wife saw this and took a photo, not a GEM. Looks like a 1 passenger, has a windshield. Sorry she didn’t get a better photo.

no it is a mobility scooter… I actually found that in 2013 I’d posted a photo of one on Facebook… it was sold at Walmart… they still list it but out of stock… the cheapest one on Amazon is sold by a company here in Denver… looks like it’s maybe about 4-5 miles away… I looked on Google… didn’t find exact address it’s a multi-use area of houses and businesses… might just have to take a ride

Wow, I looked all over the internet and gave up. Just couldn’t find it. I think you’ve got it though. My wife said she saw it again and tried to take another photo but it turned out worse.

For the price of one new I’d rather have a used GEM. I haven’t worked on mine in awhile. The aluminum bed is mostly done, just received in some stake pockets for the side boards, also have the tail lights and license plate holder/light which I need to install and wire up. Need to get some more bolts and install those then make the side boards and that will be done. Also plan on dumping the gear oil before she hits the road. It’s been sitting 4 or 5 years or more.

By the time I get all this done I should be able to afford batteries. They were sold out of the Energizer group 31 at Sams, at least right now on website. I’ll check back in late February/early March when I’m ready to purchase them.

I’ll look at the Shoprider when I get more time. Glad it officially exists and not just in some alternate reality.

you see or at least I do the people on mobility chair scooters… this is an upgrade of that… like the GEM car is really an upgrade of a golf cart… put a roof over your head and you’ll probably drive the car more… I have doors… heated seats… weather doesn’t really stop me… the Chamber of Congress in Denver says we get over 300 days of nice weather… I drive close to 350 days…
