The parts in play are the throttle, contactor, controller and motor. Intermittent failures are hard to pin down. I once rode around with a meter wired to...
Has any one upgraded a Classic with turn signals. I purchased the last new Classic 2007 model that the dealer had recently. I really enjoy riding this beauty...
i notice a lot of these hot bikes are brushless with in-hub motors. they are advertised as fast with remarkable range.are they as good as they sound? Steve ......
Generally speaking brushless in-hub motors are weak on torque (acceleration). They have made improvements in the last two years in the motor designs. Basically...
Very cool, the eGo getting the recognition it deserves. One thing in the article: it said that running costs are about 8 cents per mile. Anyone here keep track...
The electricity is the smallest part of the operating cost. A typical recharge is 8 to 16 cents (depending on utility rates), being less than a single KW to...
I happen to have here a 24V 20Ah LiFePO4 battery. I'd love to hear an outline of what's necessary to hook it up. Is it more than just attaching it to the XR...
Hey David I'll try to get a basic PDF of the set up posted as soon as possible. In the mean time I'd need to know a little more about your battery. It's rated...
Hi! It is basically one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=220304617490 A friend was going to use it for a project that he ended up...
Sure that will work. Nothing wrong with most of this type of batteries. I'll see what kind of documentation and photos I can get together on a similar...
I just put some new Interstates in about 2 weeks ago. I repacked the hubs. I put on 2.10" tires. Life is smooooooth! Aerowhatt- thank you SO much. The theory...
David do you know the model number on the interstates? The first thing your going to need to do for the LiFePO4 is protect it from shock and physical damage. I...
Hello: Once I get this protected and mounted, I have a couple questions about usage: - The XR lead with the bullet connector from the controller is 14 gauge....
David The connector you are reffering to is the fast charge connector. You will be installing a seperate set of wires that are ten gauge for the XR pack. If...
Ahhhh, excellent. thank you for all of this. I jury rigged a trial run today- put the battery in my backpack (well insulated!). It really makes a nice...
I'd say the operating costs are much higher than most people suspect. As Aerowhatt said, electricity is the least of it. Aside from the batteries he pointed...
Andrew, Thank you for sharing your numbers. Only a few eGO owners have alot of miles on thier bikes like you do which makes such information valuable. I added...
Hi David I don't have time to write right now but there are a couple of pictures I can send you. As you will see the battery has to be well protected from...
Andrew, This is the kind of discussion that I really enjoy, having been at one stage of a past life an econ major. When I had been pondering purchasing an eGO...
Doug You drive cars the same way I do. Get a good one take care of it and drive it until it tips over dead. This is the cheapest way to drive a car per mile....
Aerowhatt, Yes we do seem to be kindred spirits even down to having wives that drive Civics! Unfortunately, because of weather, the terrain for some of the...
Doug That's closer than I thought. Kinda weird close actually. My wife has little interest in riding eGO's too. She had one of her own for several years. I...
Hello again- First, thanks again Aerowatt for your help with the battery. I have a permanent installation now based on your design, although I put mine ...
is there some simple way to bench test a power cheq? i have my eGo stripped down to put in the soleils and this is a good time to go over my system. i am...
Either put a load on just one battery of the two or a 12 volt charger on one. It creates a voltage difference and puts the unit into action. I lke to test the...
I just bought 2 new batteries online that were the same that was sold on the ego website. It charged fine and even went 3 miles fine and then completely shut...
