Here is a video that shows all my ZAP upgrades in action: 72V to 84V battery pack, Bed Lift Assist, Refrigerated Seat, Instrumentation for energy management. This ZAP almost feels like a real car now in drivability and easily keeps up with City traffic. Very few people impatiently pass me now. It's such a pleasure to never stop at gas stations now.

  • Practical upgrade sweetness. Get twisted steel cable instead of string for durabilitiy!

  • So far the nylon rope is showing no signs of wear.

    I chose it intentionally over steel rope because it collapses over the batteries and might come in contact with one of the terminals.
