Replacing some Rubber and an Interim Battery
As spring gave way to summer, I started to prioritize getting this Electr02 rolling. My first trips on the car involved using the existing battery and equipment as it was purchased.

The trip also gave me an opportunity to meet the builder of the car and underst
