what is the cause of persistent loss of power? the battery seems fine but the scooter seemed to flag on the way up some hills. i thought it might have gotten...
Steve, This sounds to me like it is overheating and the thermal protection is kicking in. Anyway, that was the behavior with mine. In the long term,...
the reason i suspect brushes is that 5 hours later i took it for a short ride, which did include some short hills that previously i could move up fairly...

Hi Steve, You're in good hands with Kevin! I've installed the hill climbing gear, but haven't yet tried it on the big hills I ride over. After I replaced the...
Thanks very much for that informative document on hill climbing, Aerowhatt. I have a question about it, though. The post seemed to be mostly about acceleration...
Henri I routinely coast (full throttle downhill) up to 31 and 32 mph. The motor is rated for that much rpm and it does not represent a risk. Regenerative...
Aerowatt, that was a very useful file. i say mea culpa as i wait for a new set of brushes. i was under the misimpression that power depended on rpms and that ...
Took my scooter to the OR and removed the brushes. Two things were interesting. First, the amount of debris - gravel, sand - on the floor of the motor...
addendum to my brushes findings: actually on closer inspection i see that the wires of two of the brushes are scorched, so visible damage to the brushes is...
maybe a simple way to think about using the eGo prudently is to think like a bicyclist. whenn i think about the hills i ride up, if i take the eGo up the hills...
Aerowhatt, It has been a few months since I last wrote about a suspected charger failure. The reason is that the charger started working, sort of, on its own....
Just a reminder to everyone....try to remember to change the heading to the proper subject. It makes it much easier to go back & find things in the archives....
Art I've heard of a few installing soneil chargers instead. I like soniel chargers and own quite a few of them. However they don't fit in the same place the...
No, I don't think so, Steve. There is not that much yet but let's just try to keep it a little better organized from now on. Bob ... better ... heading to ......
Aerowatt's post about appropriate motor speed leads me to be curious about how the power output of the motor varies with rpm's and speed. if you go up a hill...
I've been curious about the specifics of the eGO motor graphs. I'm not sure that the manufacturer knows the details though. Similar motor graphs are available...
Dear Aerowhatt, Thank you for the further details and for sharing so much of your knowledge with us. I have an added question about loading the motor. After...
Several 2006 and 2007 12V and 48V Soneils were faulty, in our experience, unlike the (perfect) 1999-2003 Soneil battery chargers. We still like them, only...
"the indicator seems to show a ratio between the load on the motor and the charge remaining." This is exactly correct. The gauge measures real time voltage ...
I love my eGo 2 and live in the perfect place to own one, Maui. The down side is our electricity cost 30 cent/kwh. I have a single solar panel, 1 ft X 4 ft,...
I have had been charging the eGo Scooters with the sun for many years. VUS (Vehicle Using Sun). I use a 150Watt panel and inverter. The problem with this...
You are correct you would short the pack trying to connect the panel to both batteries. http://www.solarconverters.com/product_frame.html This company makes...
That works for sure, particularly with 150 watts but sort of a PIA to go DC to AC and back to DC. Lots of losses there but since it is "free" energy from the...
Looks like the CVP 12/24-5PV might do the trick. That web site hasn't been updated since March 04 so is a bit out of date and no prices. I've sent an email...
I've been waiting for a couple of weeks for brushes to get off back order, and this has gotten me thinking about what parts an ego owner might just have...
And as a new eGo owner (who had been benefitting much from the discussions here) I would be delighted if Aerowhatt, or anyone else, has put together a list of...
Yes that's the model I was thinking of too. They have a list of dealers but nobody seems to carry the whole line. Affordable up converters aren't that common....
I would add a set of disc brake pads. When you here that metal to metal you need them yesterday. So they would be nice to have on hand. If you don't want to...
