The 2007 GEM e2, e4, e6, eS, eL, and eL XD models are a series of low-speed electric vehicles (LSVs) manufactured by Global Electric Motorcars (GEM). These vehicles were designed for use in low-speed environments like golf courses, college campuses, and private communities. The GEM e2 was the most basic model, featuring a two-passenger design and a limited range. The e4 expanded capacity to four passengers, while the e6 offered seating for six. The eS, introduced in 2007, was a sporty model with a sleek design and a more powerful motor. The eL and eL XD represented larger, more luxurious models with features like a rearview camera, larger wheels, and improved suspension. All models were powered by electric motors and rechargeable batteries, offering quiet and emission-free operation.
The GEM e2-eL XD models were designed with safety in mind, featuring a steel frame, seat belts, and a standard equipment list that included turn signals, headlights, taillights, and a horn. They typically had a top speed of around 25 mph, although certain models, like the eS, offered slightly higher speeds. GEM vehicles were praised for their simplicity, reliability, and low running costs. They were particularly popular in areas where traditional gasoline-powered vehicles were prohibited or impractical, and they offered a cost-effective alternative for short-distance transportation. The 2007 service manual, available in PDF format, provided detailed instructions for maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting of these GEM models, allowing owners and technicians to keep their vehicles running smoothly and safely.
