The final chapter is now complete

I have not driven the TWIKE in several years now due to problems with one of the BMS boards.  My efforts to debug the board or get one of the 10 or so spare boards working has not met with success.  I finally decided it was time for the project to go to a new owner so I posted on several local email lists looking for a new project owner.  I found one at the local Pacific University in nearby Forest Grove.  I am hopeful it will go to helping a new generation learn about EV history and spark their interest as it has done mine.  Since the TWIKE was my first EV, I have driven a 2011 Think City, a 2016 Nissan Leaf, and a 2018 Telsa Model 3.  Above, is the picture of my TWIKE leaving my driveway for the last time in a same sized trailer that I used in 2008 which I purchased it from a back yard in Portland.  It has been a good 12 years.
