Welcome! First thing - have you tried some nutritional suppliments for joint health? That could solve your knee problem in a few months. I haven't had the...
High pressure tires are less likely to get a flat than low pressure. I'll second the Maxxis M tread tires. Since I have installed them i have not had a single...
... I'm a new owner in Western Maine. my commute is 12 miles round trip, fairly hilly. what is the theory behind the break in process? what about the brushes...
I noticed that the stock tires are 20x1.95. The Maxxis M-Tread appears to be offered at 20x1.85 and 20x2.0. Which size would be a better replacement? Does the...
On a new motor the brushes are machined to the curvature of the commutator which they ride against. However, because of slight variances of the angle of...
Don't want to start an argument, but my experience has been different. I had a racing style bike in America which was wonderful ergonomically -- never had any...
Dear Aerowhatt, Thanks for the welcome. No, I haven't tried nutritional supplements. I kind of have my doubts about the nutritional supplement industry. ...
... i was wondering if what you say might indeed be true. my commute is 6 miles each way, occasionally i take a longer ride, and this seems well within what...
You might try some glucosamine and chondroitin and or some hyrlonic acid suppliments from a reputable source (Sorry I can never spell this stuff right). I love...
I always ride with an extended range pack no matter how short the ride. The main batts do a lot more carrer miles for the DOD reasons you stated and I like...
Hey Aerowhatt! Or I guess anyone for that matter. I have made an extra battery pack with b&b batteries which I've been told are better than the ego stock ...
... Aerowhatt et al My dealer is willing to give me a hardly used xr pack for $80. i am concerned, though, that because it has been sitting around off a ...
Hi Michael What model are your B & B batteries? I've been using Artic Zone soft sided coolers for battery bags. Most come with a rigid plastic "bucket" inside...
If it's in good condition $80 would be a bargain. One way to help decide is to test it's voltage. It should read above 25.3 or else it is suspect from being...
how do you assess brush health? with electric power tools it is a pretty easy matter to check out brushes from time to time. i can recall seeing brushes worn...
My wife followed me for a short distance the other day and commented how hard the eGo is to see. she thought it was harder than a bicycle because it is even...
I have been reading the group for some time and am close to buying an Ego. I have a question however that I would appreciate the answer to. I know about the...
Safety is a big concern. With the smaller 20 inch BMX style tires that the Ego uses you are not as visable as you might want to be. I certainly suggest you...
... Bill, i just got an LX and it has a composite sprocket as best i can determine. my dealer is about 70miles away. i could not arrange a drop shipment direct...
Thanks for the reply.. I am disappointed to hear that the drive sprocket has not been improved or has it? Can anyone give an answer on that? I am afraid that I...
Yea this guy cooked his motor due to negligence and then thinks it's not his own fault. The brushes have to set in and if you try to pull too much current...
Aerowhatt could you please post some of the how to's that were on Visforvoltage before they went down and lost a lot of the ego info. there is a place here to...
Hi Bill It's the smaller composite sprockets that are problematic. The secondary sprocket (the one on the front of the belt to the rear wheel) has been...
Sure, as soon as the system will accept files. It doesn't seem to be working at the moment. When I can, I'll post what I have on the topics that you mentioned....
Bill, I picked up my eGO about two weeks ago. The manufacture date is 12/06 and the sprocket is not metal. Bob ... an ... know ... them ... here? ... again? ...
I deal with battery packs from 2 batteries (24V) to 10 batteries (120V). Any battery pack will benefit in longevity with a BMS (battery management system). The...
