I get them as blanks from Kaman Bearing here locally. They arrive with a 6mm bore. We bore them to 15mm and add two set screws to tighten down on the flat side...
I am new to ego scooters. I bought a used one last christmas and have loved it, I only ride on flat areas and for rides that are 1-5 miles. I bet I...
Aerowatt, Your hills, which i measured off delorme software, are certainly steeper than mine. what sorts of speeds do you ride out on your 5% grades? i am...
i checked with Kevin about the possibility of an upgrade package and none is planned. what do you think the cost of the changeover would be. i assume it would...
henri, i'm embarrassed to say i don't remember but i'm going to service the machine soon and will be in there. as you can see from another post i'm going to re...
My primary belt was skipping pretty badly (after about 4,000 miles). I made the mistake of overtighening it last week to compensate and it broke. Was...
I don't know what the battery would cost. We can assume it's substancial. The charger and controller stay the same. The charger has to be adjusted to different...
Andy If you have a polyglass motor sprocket you will need a new motor sprocket as well. Without changing it out you will just wreck the new belt in short...
Steve I basically just follow the hill climbing guide lines that I wrote. I think they are in the files section. If not I'll upload them. I make every customer...
Hi Blake Welcome! It sounds like you have some serious heat damage to the motor. Whether it could be repaired or needs replaced would require an in person...
Since this group seems to be humming right now, here's another question. I have the hill climbing gear, and it reduces drastically my overheating problem...
Thank you for getting back to me! If the moter has heat damage wouldn't I be smelling it? I smell nothing at all. I took the batteries and had them load...
You know I assumed it was metal, but I just took a closer look at it and it seems like maybe it is in fact a polyglass sprocket sandwiched between a couple of...
The motor would smell, unless the damage happened some time ago (before you got the bike). Over time the smell from an overheating event mostly goes away. If...
So if the lights are working then the charger is good? The lights work, this morning when I took the batteries in they were red and green. I assume that is...
This is not exactly an answer to Henri's question although, having been in his position riding an eGo II in 90°+ heat where the power was cut, that is a...
You need to see the charger do both modes to say it is probably working properly. You can turn on the key switch and head light for ten minutes or so. Then...
While this is a practical way to vent off more heat than the stock foot plate. I'm concerned about all the grit and debri that will get into the works from the...
Aerowhatt- I share your concern about grit and debris getting to the motor and moving parts, but my plan at this point is that I'll be using this perforated...
I would probably consider the fans if they were on a switch. Part of my commute is through open space, where any added noise is an issue. If I could turn them...
The temperature safety is a big improvment. The temperature of engagement has been lowered recently too. And with the sensor moved inside the motor case it...
In large part, I would agree Henri. I think I would want to know what temperatures I'm reaching on a regular basis. If you have a remote thermometer or an...
Thanks for the great comprehensive answer Aerowhatt! My eGo has a date on the Cert. of Origin of 6/1/06. Do you think that would give me a motor with the 140°...
what is the longevity, presumably in miles, of brushes. is it worth replacing them yearly (approx 1000 miles) since they are relatively easy and cheap to do?...
This took me a while to figure out. And mileage varies based on usage (hills, heavy or light rider, etc.) Currently I think it's prudent to check them at 3000...
Doug I would bet that no it doesn't. I have two documents on the controller specs. One dated 2/13/07 and one dated 1/28/2008. They both say the same thing. ...
I'd just like to take time to thank Aerowhatt for all his very valuable help. We have all learned much from him & he is a very valuable member of this group....
Thank you Bob! That's very nice of you. Unfortunately when you see me here this much it means the chronic health troubles are acting up more. So I'm not out ...
Aerowatt, I've been wondering how long those little blower fans last. as i recall they were not that easy to get - the web site i found no longer sold them or...
for the first time all season i opened up the bay on my eGo to look around and start on changing my motor pulley. i was surprised to find a coating of fine...
