Vacuum pumps are provided under the hood and supply vacuum to the power brakes. Great tires, great brakes, easy operation.This vehicle is known as an E-10 by collectors and electric vehicle buffs. It's in original condition other than being repainted about 6 years ago, has seen very little use with only the slightest of wear showing. Pictures shown were dated 2014 but vehicle has been stored inside and they represent the vehicles present condition.Batteries will provide approximately 20 miles of travel, exceeding the owners original requirements of 12 miles per day (before the owner retired). Vehicle is used frequently because it's fun to drive. New batteries will of course provide greater range...with the new owner needing to decide of litho-ion batteries are the most desirable or if the pure lead absorbed glass matt batteries, identical to the originals are of greatest benefit. If you're interested in a good clean operating electric vehicle...and a truck at that....this could be what you've been waiting for. I've owned this truck for the past 6+ years and were it not for the need to be hauling grandchildren and others along most of the time...I wouldn't be selling.
