For Sale: Light EV conversion/build parts

Post by funnerrunner »

Recognizing these are an older generation of components, I will post anyway in case anything is useful for someone's project...
FOR SALE: Curtis 1238 controller, HPEVS AC-35 motor, Orion BMS, Elcon 2000W charger

These parts may be useful for a light EV conversion or build. These came from Firefly ESV 3-wheeled vehicles. The fleet had 10-18K miles at the time it was retired.

$800 each [Qty 2] Curtis 1238-7601 controller. rated 650A 72-96V
$800 each [Qty 2] HPEVS AC-35 motor, model AC 35-16.02.11
$400 each [Qty 2] Orion BMS, model ORION 36 (REV-E2) note this is the original Orion, not the newer Orion 2
$200 [Qty 1] Elcon 2000W-class charger, model TCCH-72-25 set for 28 cells LiFePO4 180Ah, has programming for 22-31cells, can be reprogrammed

The controllers, motors, and charger come with some of the interfacing cables as they were installed in the Firefly ESV vehicle.
The motor & controller pair well together. But willing to sell individually.
I will consider all reasonable offers.

Location: Portland, Oregon USA .... Local pickup preferred; however, I am willing to ship. Motor is heavy and prohibitively expen$ive.

I have been running a Firefly ESV with these components for the past year. Pretty good setup for a light vehicle.

Photos to be added...

Just a general tip... the person asking the question should be the person who names the price.

If you want to sell something, you name your price. If you approach some one on the street and ask to buy something of theirs, you name an offer to them. Otherwise, the person who wants to do the thing hasn't actually said anything of value. There are always things for sale. If you are selling a particular thing, say what you want for it.

Whether someone is even interested, to set this apart from anything else in the world that could be for sale, depends on the price.

Making buyers jump through hoops of "make an offer" will basically make most buyers not bother. They don't know if it's worth their time to even have the conversation. They would know, if it had a price.

I've basically never seen the "make me an offer" work unless it's something everyone was scouring the internet hoping to find.

Thank you for the suggestion MattsAwesomeStuff , the clear feedback is genuinely appreciated!
Asking prices have been stated below (and added to original post). Offers accepted.
I don't have great knowledge on the value of these components, so please speak up if these prices are way off. I'm not asking the community to do my pricing research for me; just saying these are my initial ideas while remaining open to feedback.

$800 each [Qty 2] Curtis 1238-7601 controller. rated 650A 72-96V
$800 each [Qty 2] HPEVS AC-35 motor, model AC 35-16.02.11
$400 each [Qty 2] Orion BMS, model ORION 36 (REV-E2) note this is the original Orion, not the newer Orion 2
$200 [Qty 1] Elcon 2000W-class charger

Do you have the CANdapter for interfacing a PC with the Orion BMS?

No, sorry, I do not have the CANdapter. Only the Orion BMS units.
