I am looking for any manuals, advertisements, schematics, and other literature for the EV Warrior Technical Data library (link above). If you have EV Warrior literature and are willing to share, please send a scan to me at posti@aol.com. |

| July 26, 2025 - I decided to drive to Dayton Ohio for the 2025 AACA Grand Nationals, both to try for a Grand National Award for the EV Warrior and to get one more credit towards my 100th award. I had intended to have 100 credits when I judge at Hershey in October, but it seems that my accounting was off and I actually received the award at the Grand National! Then the EV Warrior earned its First Grand National award. So the trip was really great! Now I just have the Senior Grand National left to go for. | |
| April 6, 2024 - The 2024 Easter Division Spring show was held in conjunction with the 2024 Grand Nationals at Charlotte NC. I was able to get the blue EV Warrior through for its AACA Senior Award. I will probably have to wait for the 2026 Grand National to get its award, as I probably will not want to travel to the west side Grand National next year. |

November 27, 2023 - A lucky eBay find arrived today - an EV Warrior fact sheet, one of the few advertisements the company put out. A scanned .pdf file is located on the EV Warrior Technical Data page. |
| October 6, 2023 - Hershey has come and gone, and I have the 1st Place Junior Award to prove it! The flea market was great, with just enough breeze to keep the unseasonably warm sunny days pleasant. However, the show day arrived with pouring rain that kept some vehicles off the field. I decided to take the Warrior to its location on the show field in the van, and found a parking place close by where I (illegally) left the van for the whole show! It stopped raining just as I started to unload, and the sun came out. I was pleased, but not surprised, to get the First Place award. The EV Warrior was essentially new, though I had to restore some of it due to being knocked around a dealership for 35 years. Happily, I had all fo the items in stock, including correct factory-painted covers! I can go for a Senior award next year. |

| September 4, 2023 - The blue EV Warrior has lost all of its side reflectors over the years. Happily, I had a NOS set still in the factory bag, and got the old adhesive cleaned off and the new reflectors installed. Then I took the bike on an 8-mile cruise to check it out. Other than hitting a patch of mud that sprayed me and the bike, the ride was uneventful. I have already installed some other NOS parts, and will be getting the bike detailed for Hershey coming up in a month! | |

August 26, 2023 - Another treasure from eBay - this being a near-perfect 1995 license plate as it would have appeared on the Blue EV Warrior. It is actually held on by Velcro per factory specs, as you have to remove it to get to the rear cover retaining screws. |
| August 22, 2023 - The well-cooked mess at right is what is left of the blue EV Warrior's voltage regulator board. The turn signals were not working and the issue seemed to be in the left-hand mirror which contains all of the circuits. I had a NOS mirror in the original bag and plugged it in. The turn signals did not come on at all, and guess what? I smelled something burning and saw smoke coming from the rear cover! The new mirror has a dead short. This could have been disastrous, as the bike is dead without this board. But I had a new replacement in stock, as well as a new crossover cable for the batteries which also got burned, AND a new flasher plug-in for bikes that did not have turn signals. All those boxes of parts are coming in handy! In any case, everything is working sans the turn signals, which I don;t really care about anyway. I took the bike to Chip's and back (a little over 6 miles) and hit 21 MPH The EV Warrior is registered for the Hershey show in October, so I will be digging into the NOS parts to get it restored properly. |

June 21, 2023 - Two of the EV Warriors (The purple and yellow bikes I just got) are gone! I decided to put two up for sale, and a friend in the MG Club bought one for his wife, then came back and got the second one the next day. That leaves me with the original yellow bike and the top-of-the-line blue EV Warrior. The turn signals are not working reliably - they came on for a while, then shut off. I may have to replace a circuit board or one of the side mirrors, but I have everything in stock. |
| June 3, 2023 - All of the EV Warriors are fully functioning thanks to some deliveries from eBay (CatEye Kosmos) and Amazon (new batteries). The blue EVX (Deluxe model) turned out to be the fastest of the bunch, topping 20 MPH on a trip to best bud Chip's today, and also seemed to be the most energy efficient. Batteries were all the (new) yellow EVS needed to go, and I had a replacement for the missing rear light in stock. The purple EVS was already rolling well, and the previous yellow EVS has always been good, which gives me one of the world's largest collections of functioning Bricklin EV Warriors! |

May 25, 2023 - The blue deluxe EV Warrior
has a broken lead for the computer, but I was able to locate a
correct used CatEye Kosmos computer on eBay and have it coming, along
with mineral oil hydraulic fluid for the front disc brake. In the
meantime, I pulled the purple EV Warrior together and got it all working
great. Over 18 miles per hour around the neighborhood, with lights and
horn and brake lights all working, as well as the pedal power gears. Oh,
I also added the SACHS front disc information sheet and the EV Warrior
Guardian instructions to the EV Warrior resource library. May 27, 2023 - I took the Purple EV Warrior to Chip's (About 7 miles round trip) where he helped me replace the dry, rusty chain with a new Shimano chain. The old chain had no wear and had probably not seen any use, but had corroded over time. I also have a new chain for the yellow bike. The blue one looks good as-is. |
| May 24, 2023 - Major progress today followed by a few steps back. The blue bike came to life tonight, probably suffering from bad connections that got aided when I was plugging and unplugging components to see what might be bad. The turn signals, brake lights, motor, flashers, everything worked great. I took it for a ride and had everything good except for the computer, which I think needs a new wheel magnet. When I got back, I installed the security system, which is a simple plug-in. The rear lights quit working and the turn signals are stuck on. The bike still goes and the security system is working properly. With flashing still on the center of the tread, the EV Warrior has not seen any use. I'll shake out the bugs, but it is looking good. And I found all of the spare parts I need for all the bikes in my NOS stash purchased years ago! |

May 21, 2023 - I ordered a new set of batteries to check out the bikes with and they came in late Thursday. However, I left early Friday morning for an AACA National Meet in Gettysburg PA, so it wasn't until today that I could hook them up. Annoyingly, the blue EV Warrior that I want to keep is the only one of the three that doesn’t come to fill life with batteries. The headlight, horn, and power meter all work, but the mirrors and motors are still out. Probably just dirty or loose connections. The yellow and purple bikes are both operational, surging forward as soon as I hit the accelerator. My plan is to sell the yellow and purple bikes once I have the cleaned up and have new batteries in them, and possibly also sell the first one that now has its AACA Senior Grand National award. Oh, and I got in a new order from Staton Industries, which is scraping the bottom of their warehouse barrel - I got in a box full of parts that cost about $14 to ship - and the total was just over $15! Yeah. literally pennies for most of the items. |
| May 16, 2023 - I bought triplets today! Three more EV Warriors that I have been watching for months on eBay were too close not to check out. Just over an hour drive away, I took the van and cash for a reasonable, if low, offer. The one I am most interested in is the blue one which has the LED turn signal mirrors and the front disc brake, both options for the EV Warrior, along with the security system. The fob that activates the security cutoff is long lost, but I have a new set ready to install. The single set of batteries that came with the bikes is shot, but one set of new ones is coming Thursday. All of the Catseye computers came to life with fresh batteries, and I think the bikes have little to no use. They came from a former car dealership owner who kept them when he sold the dealership. The blue one may never have been powered up, as the connecting wire for the batteries is still zip-tied to the main harness. And the other two still have the 'hair' on the outer edge of the tires. If the blue one checks out I will probably sell the yellow one I have had for years, as well as the other two I got today. |  |
