I had a spare 48 v Curtis controller so I took the eGo controller & charger out & put it in an Ego. Running on 36 v it does 35 mph with great acceleration....
Okay, now I am curious. What model is that you used? In California, we are allowed to go up to 30 Mbps - no more - with the electric Cycle license plate I...
Hi Lora, I don't recommend running an eGo on 36 volts. The motor is only rated for 3000 rpm & I'm sure it's going over that at times so I don't know how long ...
We did that for a while on the generation 1 motors back in the day. They didn't hold up well at all running 36 volts. It's not the RPMs that get them it's the...
Okay, It sounds like I will keep my stock controller for now. I have to tell you that 30 Mph sounded nice. I was on my Ego scotter today going to the gym -...
San Diego is really not a cold climate. But lately, we actually have temps below 60 degrees in the morning. Co-workers comment on my red face and mention it...
Hi Lora, On very cold mornings, I will actually wear a neoprene face mask that only covers the cheeks, nose and mouth areas. Although, if it's that cold (below...
Wow. I woke up to 29 degrees this morning, and frost that hung on in the shade until 11 AM. It eventually warmed up to about 60 degrees. Sometimes I miss...
a wind screen of some kind really helps. although i got it for the spring fall riding that is really chilly, i find a windscreen useful year round. i started...
It's wind burn and perhaps some sunburn as well. Scooter helmets can be had that have a full bubble like shield of plexiglass over your face. If you keep it...
The same place I bought my scooter has them http://www.segwaypb.com/products_electric_bicycles.htm they nhave an extended battery- very expensive-that goes...
I am so excited. Last year I rode my eGo the gym and ended up meeting a fellow gym member. He is the CEO of Fallbrook Technology. The make a device called...

That's very interesting Lora. I'm curious. There are no gears right now on the eGO and speed is governed strictly by engine RPM speed. I guess there could be...
i visited that shop this past winter and hung out there my wife played with a segway. i found it interesting that the owner, who carries several lines of...
While the eGo is a good serviceable scooter it is by no means better than lets say my Lepton scooter for example. My brush less Lepton has better speed, hill...
My Segway dealer sells several types of electric items. Bikes, scooters, segways and motorcycles. I live in California and did register my eGo. It is a one...
I generally wear a motocross helmet. Mine is made by Mossi. They are cooler in summer, lighter in weight and restrict your visibility and hearing less than...
I took the eGO out today and it didn't have much of a charge. As soon as I started, the LEDs on the dash were hunting back and forth on the two lowest LEDs...
Look on the Internet for Jay Leno and motor cycle helmets. He has a very informative bit on how to fit a helmet properly. No- it is not a comidy bit, he has...
Mercy- what one Earth happened? I hope you were safe and could return home easily. I can only imagine that your charger needs repaired. A lady that bought...
How old are your batteries? Have you checked all your fuses? I've found that one of the fuses, can't tell you which as I'm not that detail oriented,...
I'm more concerned about warmth than crash protection for my face. I am very happy with the scooter type helmet eGo sells but its not good enough on those 40...
I should have immediately turned around but I kept on going down this long hill and had to walk it back up. That was no fun! I don't know what happened since I...
Thanks Doug, I'll definitely check the charger. The batteries were replaced about 15 months ago and haven't really been used since the brushes were gone on...
Hi Ambrose, There are several resources on the Ego vehicles website for diagnosing a charger problem. Look under the Support/Service/Diagnosis/Short Range menu...
