Electric Bradley Questions Mar 31, 2015 14:06:11 GMT -5

OK so my motor's still shot and my knee's are still bad but i can't bring myself to get rid of my Bradley. I'm contemplating doing something i've thought about for a long time, and that is converting my Bradley to an all electric vehicle. I'm just starting my investigation and it seems there are sites out there for "complete" kits for the conversion. Has anyone reading this actually converted a Bradley GT (not GT II) to fully electric and if so would you be willing to share your thoughts, sources, do's and don'ts, frustations and triumphs. My situation is fairly good (I think) for an electric conversion- i live in the city, rarely drive the Bradley more than 20 miles at a time, don't need the vehicle for day to day driving and have already replaced a lot of the frame parts so I have a fairly solid base for the vehicle. Thoughts. Pat in Buffalo

Yes, well sort of. Somewhere in the archives there is information on the only Bradley GTe made, as a ordered car from Bradley. I can't recall the details, but it came up in the past when someone else was toyuing with the idea of doing the same thing. I'll see if I can find it and post a direct link to the post.

The Bradley is in our DNA, from our busted knuckels to headaches, yet will always have a place in our hearts no matter what happens.
