Or perhaps a schematic diagram would be easier? I've ordered a couple of B&B batteries per your earlier recommendation but have been having difficulty...
Bob, The B&Bs are smaller 12 volt batteries for an extended range battery pack. I'm just over 1,500 miles on my stock eGo batteries and hoping to get many mo ...
I have trouble following my descriptions sometimes ;-) I'll try to do both a schematic and photo of a harness installed. It's very simple once you get a good...
Doug, Here's some data from yahoo!group power assist that supports your choice. What it shows is that you get 175% out of your batteries if you keep the DOD,...

Hi all! After years of wanting one, I finally picked up a used 4/15/05 built LX for $900 on Portland, Oregon's craigslist. It was advertised as being in...
If it were mine the next thing I would do is test the motor. Controllers can be tested with a light bulb instead of a motor as the load. But we can get to that...
Thanks, Aerowhatt - I'll give it a try as soon as the rain stops today! Do you think it's ok to connect the eGO's pos and neg motor wires to my car's battery...
You could use the car battery. Just be very carefull not to let any connections short circuit. Disconnect every wire that leads to the motor from the...
Whew! Connected the battery like you said and the motor came right to life. I didn't hear any weird noises and it never faltered, so that's a good sign. Is...
It sounds likely that the motor is OK. That's good. Sometimes a motor failure will take out a controller so it's good to know the motor works before you...
Last night the price for two batteries on eGO's website was $150 and they were temporarily out of stock. Today they're available for $235, plus the $30...
Is there anything else at all that would make the controller LED flash just once, such as the solenoid? I'm hesitant to drop $250 for a new controller without...
Yes not a surprise. Batteries have been rising like crazy because of the cost of lead. If you are lucky you can still find a few vendors that have old stock...
You could test the contactor. It's that silver can under the dash that the positive motor wire attaches to. Is it operating now? When all is well turning the...
Hi, Aerowhatt, I'd be very interested in the used controller if the contactor ends up being good! I have a feeling the contactor may be bad; right now when I...
It's the controller that switches the contactor on if it decides everthing is OK. So the fact that the contactor isn't working when the key is turned doesn't...
So how much would you like for that used controller? ): I can PayPal you the money or mail a money order out to you if you'd like. I wired the 2 small posts...
Send me an email at aerowhatt (at) yahoo.com. We can work out the details off the forum. Aerowhatt ... PayPal ... heard ... to ... ridden ... the ... when ... ...
I'm not familiar with eGo systems but a newbie mistake I made once was assuming I had a bad controller when the speed control potentiometer just wasn't...
... Aerowhatt, I've recently been thinking about modifying the battery door of my eGo II to increase the ventilation to the motor without leaving an opening...
Hey Doug So the XR harness diagram was deciferable, that's good. On the foot plate. I'm going to have to hang on to it for a while. One of the guys who works...
Aerowhatt, We have drifted OT here! Anyway, since you aren't going to be melting down the remainder of the frame, what your guy is working on certainly does...
Yeah it should be an interesting project. There is something to be said about not having your motor too cold as well. I believe they become brittle and can...
Have you considered doing your experiment with a foot plate fabricated from plexiglass? Ours is long gone but back when we did cooling experiments. We made one...
Hi all, I am new to the group. Aerowhatt recommended I come here for eGo help from the V is for Voltage forum. Thanks Aerowhatt. (Aerowhatt solved a problem I...
I found the Otivia cargo cache before it was listed on the eGO site. It has been perfect for holding my book bag and laptop (make sure any laptop is off and...
Cyferx Glad to see you made the jump over here. You will find alot more eGO specific info here. Check the files section for some good mods and tips. I don't...
