GEM car hybrid

topic posted Thu, January 3, 2008 - 7:20 PM by  Ray C
I just got a 2002 gem with an up graded 7.5 hp motor. I'm looking into the feasibility of using a small vegi-diesel generator to convert it to a hybrid. I heard that there is a safety shut-off that keeps the motor from working if the charger is working. Any one here know about this? Also; the charger may be too weak to keep up with the rate of discharge. Anyone have ideas? Or better yet, experience?
