For sale is
VERY rare electric car - Renaissance Cars Tropica Roadster. These cars were
produces in USA in 1993-1995 by one of the first EV startups - Renaissance Cars
company. In 1995 the company became bankrupt. Only about 20 Tropica roadsters
were produced. I’m selling production car #3 (VIN # 4HRAA11P8SA000003, production year - 1995).
The car has
a very bright and attractive design of pure roadster. Lightweight
body is build on aviation-grade aluminium frame with fiberglass plastic panels.
Has 2 seats.
Two
electric DC motors drives rear wheels. Original “battery pack” of the car
consisted of 12 lead-acid 6V batteries, total voltage is 72V. Today such
battery is obsolete. In 2013 I installed new lithium battery on the place of
the old lead-acid units. With new lithium battery the car is much lighter, have
much better performance and range (up to 160 km / 100 miles range). If new
owner wish, it is possible to remove the lithium battery and put back
“original” lead-acid 6V batteries.
The car has
on-board charger and can be charged from any regular household outlet or public
charging stations.
The car in
very good shape and fully working. I drive it on some weekends, participate in
EV festivals and shows. It can works as very good show-stopper or marketing/advertising
vehicle.
Currently
it is located in Sochi, Russia. I can help with exporting the car to any
country in the world!
