H'yall. Happy new years. This is a review of the Panasonic SLA/AGM battery. FYI Panasonic (not a company I like, though -- too big a corporation) batteries...
I will have to make longer runs on the Ego. If I connect 2 12AH batteries and store them on deck, will that make sense? Or am I just lugging deadweight? This...
IMO once you've dealt with the plastic sprocket (on older Ego's) and put a mud-blocking chassis shield, and a motor-fan, the Ego is really a long-term vehicle...
It depends on what type the extra 12ah batteries are. If they are made for high discharge rates they will help with range. If they are UPS or general purpose...
Not much has been going on here lately. I just wanted to get some conversation started, and respond to the extra battery question. I have the EGO XR pack on...
There is a group to discuss other electric bikes and building your own -- a Yahoo group called Power-Assist. ... From: "jimcresap" A while back there was...
It's nice to hear real-world performance of these bikes. I still have to sell my EV Warriors to make room for my Ego2 and it's good info to have on the items...
Currie ebikes sometimes failed due to loose spade connectors, which would cause a short and a current spike into the controller, destroying the controller. The...
UPDATE: Panasonics not as good as original factory Ego batteries. The range of the originals, even after 3 years of sitting in a warehouse, was appreciably...
... UPDATE: Had a crash on black ice, but the chassis deck's "skirt" got a big scratch, and prevented any further damage. Good design. A plastic-bodied Chinese...
Just saw this statement below today at an Ego seller's webpage. Is it true? eGo Electric Cycle (NOTE: the ownership of the eGo manufacture is in the process of...
This must be an old message from last summer that hasn't been updated yet. Many, likley most dealers, had to start telling prospective buyers that stock wasn't...
I wish that eGO would add operable pedals to the bike, like the X-Treme Electric Bicycle Scooter Moped XB-500 has, so that the eGO would comply with the laws...
You ought to send that to them as a suggestion -- to have an add-on kit for that. Personally, I think it would look trashy, but I understand the hoops you...
That's a tough engineering challenge Art. I can't imagine how one would do it except for a bolt on unit which drives the rear tire with a friction wheel from...
I was wondering if any owners have any experience with relacing an Shimano Nexus 7 or 8 speed internal hub onto the rear? They seem quite sturdy, but I would...
aerowhatt, I REALLY like the approach you suggest, but the problem cannot be insurmountable, since the Chinese X-treme scooters come with operable pedals....
It sure would help increase their sales, but I hope they ONLY consider it as a "jump through the red tape hoops" type of add-on and market it *specifically* as...
You are right, Melinda. The pedal thing would only be enough to comply with extraordinarily goofy local laws. All they have to do is power the eGO with the...
Art More than anything else it's not something done as an after thought. If eGO's had been designed originally with pedals then it would be laid out completely...
Interstate (the battery manufacturer) sells several Group U1 "wheelchair" batteries, same size for the Ego-2 electric scooters. On a high-end load tester, the...
Saw some really tiny pedals at a bike shop. And, there are "folding pedals" that can be added to those small pedals. Drilling holes in the chassis skirt for...
See many ebikes on my regular morning bike route. However, most ebikes disappeared with the rain coming down like Niagara Falls recently, and the streets have...
The climbing gear works fine. ... From: "vanrescuers" Any info on the low geared pulley would be appreciated. Would it allow a 300 lb. load up hills? Thanks....
I would like to look into that. Can you tell me the bike shop name, location? Thanks. ... From: vanrescuers To: egoscooters@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday,...
Let's add our knowledge to Wikipedia's electric vehicles folder Wiki's electric vehicles section lacks information known by this group, and Wiki contains...
Looking for a new set of batteries and have heard from you all that the BB EVP35-12b2-1 is probably the best SLA out there. Don't know where you all get them...
Here is what the page looks like now that I edited it. I think I'll add a picture of my daughter riding her electric scooter. Lawrence Rhodes....... Electric...
