All Wildfire Recalls

Wildfire WF-120V, Knoxville, TN. 03-08-09 19:45hrs

Wildfire Motors, is apparently a new upstart (at time of publication) trying to get into the auto market - having formerly been in the ATV/Quad bike/dirt bike market. Here we have the all electric Wildfire WF-120V, which up close looks like a cheap knockoff of a Smart ForTwo.

It features an 8.5 kWatt (120volt) AC motor running from 10, 105 amp sealed lead batteries. From the windows sticker it has a top speed that is governed at 30mph, but can be set higher depending on local laws. It's speedometer on the other hand topped at 50 or 60mph (don't remember exactly).
