I love my Bradley GTElectric!! I drive it to work and back during the spring, summer and fall. (approximately 35 miles daily) My employer lets me "plug in" to their outlet in the basement of the parking structure. I get "two thumbs up" from people as I drive by them! Of course, nobody knows what I am driving... is it a Lamborghini? a Ferrari? a Delorean? ...??? I love to see the faces on people when they find out this vehicle does not run on gasoline!!! Yes!! It's TOTALLY electric!!! 1981 Bradley GTElectric on the move!!! (please "click" on WebPage below) < WebPage >
