Thank you! I've taken the Motocompacto apart several times. If a screw did vibrate loose, it was probably because I didn't tighten it down all the way. I also noticed the case started to separate right below the headlight. I was able to push on it and snap it back into place. Other than that, its solid! Maybe to solid, lol.

Yeah, you moved to soon!

I would really like to know the back story of where they came from and where they were going, lol.

I hope so! I already bought some more batteries and have the next trip planned out. Floridas a bit far though, lol.

Thank You! I made a little Solar Wagon to pull behind the MotoCompacto. My goal is to continuously drive for 200 miles without stopping to charge. Wish me luck!

@@HondaFit4Adventure Wow sounds amazing! Would love to see a video about that :D Fingers crossed everything goes well🙌

I think Richmond was the worse. The horses tear up the trail pretty bad, making it extra bumpy on those gravel sections.

Thank you! I was going to make a video explaining how to add or swap aftermarket batteries, but my OEM battery just bricked itself for whatever reason. In order for the aftermarket batteries to work, I would first need to power cycle the Compacto on and off using the OEM battery. If you did not do this, you would get the PR72 battery communication error. Since the battery issue, Im now able to just start the Compacto on the aftermarket batteries alone. The OEM battery has power, its just not coming out of the MT60 cable. I need to figure out what is exactly happening before I make a video on it. :) I'm planning for a trip to Indiana and back which I will try to complete 200 miles in one day. This may or may not involve a solar panel trailer to continuously charge the Compacto while driving. No wasted time charging...

@@HondaFit4Adventure Have you figured out how to eliminate the OEM battery? I am using an aftermarket battery standalone, but the compacto won't get out of the slow low-power mode.

Lol. I can only imagine what the person walking was thinking. First a guy on a PennyFarthing, then a guy rolls by on a briefcase.

Thank you! I think one screw vibrated loose, other than that everything held up well. I'm already planning out the next adventure ;) Take care.

@@HondaFit4Adventure Excited for the next adventure! Have fun & be safe!

Lol, the wife said I should've had a grunt counter at the bottom of the screen. That sounds like a great idea. Anytime works for me, except October.

Thank you. I'm not going to lie, an ebike is faster and cheaper, but I am a big Honda Fan so I bought this. I purchased a seatpost with built in shock. Now I can have a cushy seat with shock absorbers :) I'm currently scouting out my next adventure. Chicago to Indiana, which is 160 miles round trip. I turned one of those bicycle carriers for kids into a little solar trailer. I should be able to charge up my empty batteries while riding, so less down time.

Thank you. Ill be going for 200 miles next!

Thanks Arne. What do you think? 30 days to get across the country? Lol.

Bro, I just made it to the Indiana boarder and currently charging at a subway. 🤣 I was going tonride all the way up to GridLife but no one confirmed that they were going, so it's just to Indiana and back for the day.

I'm working on the video now. It should be up by next weekend. 😎

Appreciate it and your videos are great. Understanding and great information and explanation

Glad you enjoyed it! I already have my next adventure planned out. I hope to spend more time riding than charging next time.

Thank You!

Thank you. I'd consider myself middle-aged, lol. In my younger years, I drove a 50cc Honda Ruckus to Canada. Great news! "115 Miles on a Motocompacto - Illinois to Indiana" should be out in a day or two.

🤣

Hard to stand! Lol

Lol, you spoke too soon. I've encountered several errors after filming this video. ER72 Battery communication error. Battery cable got pinched and shorted. ER71 Motor communication error. One of the plugs on the motor controller vibrated loose. At least I was able to fix the issues. I'm going to try for 200 miles in one day later this summer. I will be using a trailer with a solar panel to help keep the stationary charge times down.

@@HondaFit4Adventure Time to take it apart and reconnect whatever happened there. My group has 4 of them and no issues so far for us.

I recently bought a bicycle trailer to put a DIY power station on the inside and a solar panel on the top. Lets go 200 miles! Thank you for the trailer recommendations.

It's the Illinois Prairie Trail or "Prairie Path Bicycle Trail" I think it ends an hour east from Ottawa. I've been using this website/app to plan my next adventure using the bike paths. www.traillink.com/stateactivity/il-bike-trails/

@@HondaFit4Adventure it ends right in ottawa,I went to hi school there where they met.here,we arent allowed to have electric bikes on that canal road.the canal road ends in LaSalle

Grom, no. Ruckus, yes.

Already working on it my friend. :)

I own two Motocompactos. The high milage tire still looks very similar to the other Motocompacto that I just ride at work. My 115 mile adventure is currently uploading.

Mostly yes. There was one or two times I had to assist it up a steep hill. @6:37 The seat is fairly comfortable, but the MotoCompacto could use some suspension.

I sure can. I have another car video to finish and then Ill work on the battery video.

Hi Daniel. The plan was to drive from Illinois to Wisconsin and back stopping every 15miles or so to charge up. Even with the gravel affecting the battery range, I still should've had enough power in the aftermarket batteries to get back to the McHenery charge point, if I didn't let the OEM battery die first. Now that I know the scooter wont recognize the aftermarket batteries without the OEM battery, I wont accidentally put my self in that situation again. I recently rode 115 miles with no issues at all. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMdoe8Rox928iaM.htmlsi=bhEGoRxWyM2LIM2Q

@@HondaFit4Adventure that's awesome.. i want to learn more about the aftermarket batteries.. mainly how do you swap it. where you buy it, what are the best aftermarket options.. ETC... Again, thanks for posting and riding.

@@DaniEles-rc7ij Here's how to swap batteries or to get aftermarket batteries to work on the Motocompacto kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iN-qo7Vp2pzMaJs.htmlsi=xCiGUTW5WG9QTSv1 I purchased the batteries off Amazon. There are plenty of aftermarket options, but I went with a seller that had plenty of photo reviews and responsive to emails.
