Gizmo

1997-2003

Gizmo was a manufacturer of Neighborhood Electric Vehicles based in Eugene, Oregon. The company produced a compact three-wheeled vehicle designed primarily for short-distance travel within residential areas.

The vehicle was powered by a 3-horsepower direct current electric motor that drove a single rear wheel. Its design featured minimalistic bodywork, with a distinctive nose section that lifted up to allow for passenger entry. The vehicle's controls were uniquely configured, utilizing handlebars for the accelerator, brake, and steering functions.

Initially, early models of the Gizmo had a top speed of 30 miles per hour (48 kilometers per hour). However, subsequent versions of the vehicle saw an increase in performance, achieving speeds of up to 45 miles per hour (72 kilometers per hour). The Gizmo represented an innovative approach to urban mobility, focusing on efficiency and ease of use in neighborhood settings.
