... Oh dear... I just installed my new contactor and the problem didn't go away. I assume this means it's the controller. Before I order a new one from Ego (at...
Hi Tedd, There are aftermarket controllers that will work (Curtis, Alltrax etc) but the wiring can get a little complicated to make everything (regen braking, ...
Hey Tedd Sorry to hear it wasn't just the contactor! I agree with Bob the eGO controller is a pretty good value. The only other brand that fits and has similar...
Aerowhatt & Bob, Thanks for your advice concerning after market controllers. I suspected the Ego controller was the only way to go, but given the price, I...
You've got me intrigued Mopedtedd, Can you itemize all of the items on your eGO that you HAVE replaced? I'd like to be prepared for any future needs now! ...
Tedd Just out of curiosity do you know how many total miles you have on your bike? Since they have only been around a few years it's just starting to get to...
After changing the batteries we have neither lights nor charging (the light goes directly to green) Is this because the batteries are not being recognized? The...
The fuse in the black wire from the charger to the controller is most likely blown. It only takes brief short to the chassis (which often happens when...
Hi Ambrose, I keep a log of everything I do to the scooter, so here's what I have: I'm on my 4th set of batteries (I had a warranty replacement early on, a bad...
Hi Aerowhatt, As I mentioned in my response to Ambrose, I probably put about 1400 miles on my scooter per year and I've had it for 4 years and 3 months so I...
Hi MopedTedd, You've certainly done your share of replacing parts on your eGO! I understand that the eGO is your main form of transportation. I'm surprised by...
Tedd I'm impressed and also a little appalled at what i have to look forward to! i have about 2500 on mine (new motor(under warranty), one primary belt,...
I bought my eGO in September of 2005. I used it to ride to and from work daily except for the cold winter months here in Maine. Since then my situation has...
Hi Steve, I guess it's a matter of what constitutes dependability. I've had to do more repair than I would if I drove a car, but according to the AAA, the...
Hi Ambrose, Thanks for heads up about the Throttle Rocker (http://www.throttlerocker.com/). My first two sets of batteries were replaced because one battery in...
HI Tedd, Sulfation is the condition where a battery starts to lose capacity when it isn't charged fully after a discharge. Lead acid batteries convert...
i propose that we start a new thread that consists of simple postings of mileage and work done/parts replaced. i think it would be very useful for there to be...

HI Mary, Did you replace the fuse that comes out of the charger, has a fuse in-line and goes to the controller? Mine looks like this before I changed the fuse ...
Hi Mary, If you haven't already found this, there is a procedure on the ego site for diagnosing a charger failure that mentions your symptoms. You can find it...
An excellent diagnostic tool in this situation is to plug the bike into the wall so the charger lights are lit up. Then turn on the key switch so that hte bike...
I finally had a chance to use the eGO after a solid week of rain here in DC. Replacing the fuse holder with a regular 1.25" fuse holder fixed the problem! I no...
It looks & sounds like my jackshaft bearings are going bad. I'm getting a whoosh whoosh sound under load and when I shined a flashlight into the motor bay I...
Hi Everyone, I started an eGO dealership here in Olympia, WA and now have two eGOs that need a good home. One is a black style LX, the other is a silver...
Hi Andy, Just a heads up: When I replaced my jackshaft bearings, I was hampered by two problems with the secondary drive pulley. First, the set screw seized up...
