Re: (ET) E12S and a curtis controller??

["Steve Richardson" <scr echoweb net>]

Dave, Andy;

If the E12's use a series motor we already have controllers for that.  We
make a range of models and current ratings that vary in price accordingly.
Please see our web site at www.alltraxinc.com for details, including prices
for the SERIES controllers.

  Our original SERIES Golf Car controllers were designed to replace the
Curtis 1204 and 1205 series controllers

I can vision a less expensive kit for the E12's that could include the
appropriate SERIES controller, main fuse, throttle control, fwd/rev switch,
wiring and instructions.

How's that Dave ?
