I'm not understanding if the BugE is the replacement for the Gizmo, just a sister design, or something unrelated? I was nice to see the Gizmo on the bottom ...

David, I am going to send you the programming unit for the controller. You will be able to read the direct fault causes it the controller is failing. Can you...
When the drive cuts out all I notice is the volt meter showing an increase in voltage. I don't hear anything. I'm sure it isn't the contactor since it clunks...
Hi David; Your meter is wired to your low current power switch (near the left hand stearing arms) not the main high current contactor. I think that your ...
David, The loud clunk makes me think that there may be a problem with your motor. Jack up the back of the Gizmo, supporting the rear swing arm in the center...
Hi Robert, Not to rub it in but I've only missed driving my Gizmo a couple of days this year due to weather. I'm glad I didn't go for a Segway, however. Not as...
... The clunk I was referring to was when the contactor kicks on (or off) when the key is turned on (or off). I don't hear it any other time. I will check to...
Hey fellow Gizmo-users, A problem has sprung up lately with my belt-drive model. When I put the gizmo in gear and apply throttle, there's a feeling like the...
