my scooter is largely put away for the winter but since i recently put in new brushes i ran the scooter to run them in and then plugged it in to charge. my...
Steve the sound you are hearing is the charger cooling fan struggling up to speed. As long as it does come up to speed and sound normal there is no need to...
Thanks for providing this KEY info that serious wrenchers should have. You're doing the EV community a great service. This is my 2 cents about Interstate: They...
Users of the Chinese scooters are telling me about "lots" of problems with their ebikes and e-scooters. Nowadays, my Ego-II's (chain-drive and slicked-belt...
From the Zappy forum............. Big article in today's Boston Globe on eGo Vehicles. http://www.boston.com/business/globe/articles/2007/12/10/born_to_be_mild...
Thanks for sharing your experience with Interstate batteries. That's the most valuable information (real world experience) It takes a long time to accumulate. ...
I've been running my eGo in temperatures down into the 30°s and wondering about how the cold affects the motor and batteries. As some on this board may...
I'm more worried about my hands, nose, ears and toes in such temperatures. However batteries don't function as well when they are cold. At 20f to 30F expect...
Thanks Aerowhatt. Your answer makes complete sense with its emphasis on the thermal mass of the batteries. My windscreen has made it feasible to undertake...
I guess I would expect somewhere between 65% and 80% of summer range at 50F battery temperature. That's just an educated guess though. I've found that I get...
I've just been using my old bike helmet that I had kicking around for a couple of decades (without ever really using it much with my mountain bikes!) before I...
whats this about a 3 wheeler and a "chopper" model? I want to at least see them! Interesting that the test model had LI batts too. I would settle for NIMH...
Nimh eehhh, I don't know about settling for Nimh. I know they have had and continue to have success in hybrids and the Rav4 EV. However my experience with them...
Sounds like that windscreen cuts quite a lot. No way I can ride below 40F without a balaclava for my face. And, ride without glasses forget about it. You have...
Aerowhatt, Up to this time, the charger I got from you was behaving perfectly. Over the past few weeks the fan has been making a bit of noise. I carefully...
Art It's normal for the newer chargers for the fan to run all the time. It runs at two different speeds. Full speed for amber light (bulk charge) and a slow...
Aerowhatt, Your knowledge is priceless. I don't remember the old fan running all the time (or most of the time while "topping off"), but neither do I remember...
Priceless huh? Too bad the revenues don't reflect that! Let me know if you change your mind about the new fan. If the fan stops functioning (esspecially in...
I think this is a pretty good find. The stock charger cord is 6ft. Ten footers are avaialble at local stores. I generally carry with me an extention cord too....
Aerowhatt- I'll get the pictures to you of the secondary, below-knee level, windscreen but not for a couple of weeks. In the rush to get off for to Maine, I...
Why does my ego scooter safety cut off switch turn the scooter off when I twist the throttle in the go far mode. It happens at infrequent times and could be...
What year is your eGO? Does this happen under similar cicumstances each time, or is it random? Also how do you get going again. Do you have to turn off the key...
It is a 2003 Scooter-maintained great and kept indoors out of the rain. I turn the key on and off and it comes back on-seems to happen in pattern of twice to...
Some of that model year were equiped with auto reset circuit breakers between the controller and motor. That could be what you are experiencing. it should only...
There are two belts It's usually the little one from the motor to the Jack shaft (inside the chassis) which does what you are describing. To stop the problem ...
I had exactly the key switch problem aerowhatt describes about the motor NOT turning on when the key switch is turned. I had to turn it off and on and, maybe,...
