The Pope-Waverley Electric was produced in the USA from 1896 to 1914 and was called "by far the best Electric car on the market". It was owned by such celebrities as Thomas Edison and William Horlick (creator of malted milk). In 1909 Pope-Waverley boasted its automotive output was the largest in the world and that its cars were "swift as the speed laws of the average city will permit". It is thus admirably well suited to the 20MPH limit inside London's congestion zone.
This Model 71 has black leather fenders and electric coach lamps at the front and rear plus addition of modern indicators. Steering is performed via a tiller and power comes from a 60-volt DC motor driven by 5 x 12v Modern Gel Lead Acid batteries. It has a top speed of around 16 mph on the flat with a range of 20-30 miles.....it'svery easy & intuitive to drive and huge fun too!
A small generator has been installed meaning one can carry on driving it if the 30 mile or so battery range has been exceeded. It is a simply charming conveyance & well suited for trips to sainsbury's or down the local high street.
