retrorestore lost power on electric bike

retrorestore hi pal any chance you can build a pit engine to one like colin furze

True... Sounds like Adam .ballina

Thanks Andrew,

Yes, its a con what they charge to fix them.

Haha, it was the indicator though lol

It should do Paul. Cheers Martin

Cheers Barry

I'd need to know more about them though Pete. I know nothing at the moment.

Getting there Phil.

Cheers Jamie

Cheers bud

Haha, Not used to these Tez

Yes they do Dave, Hundreds of pounds I think

Cheers bud

Thanks George.

Cheers Shawn

The bleeping was the indicator though Bri haha, £90 for a new brake solenoid. Trotter vids very soon I hope.

Glad to hear it!

Thanks William,.

Cheers Steve

No problem 👍

Haha, maybe one day Dave

Yes, I did think about it a while ago but did not pursue it.

I don't know too much about them Cody but we got there in the end. Feeling much better now as well. Cheers Martin

I have 2 of these Go-Go scooters (3 wheelers) and I agree they are a PITA. Both of these have solenoid brake issues. Thanks for this video.

Now that's a project lol

Thanks Paul, it would have been nice to have a wiring diagram though lol

Haha, there's a plan lol

Thanks for watching!

I am going to try this, I have issue with hot brake, hard to follow what you mean about horizontal etc but sounds like you've tried this, any info appreciated.

so took off the ebrake, the coil is potted in resin, so no chance of cleaning it, I did though clean off the clutch surfaces ( the clutch was stuck on when I got the scooter), the ebrake does get quite warm to the touch, resistance is 49 ohmn which is ok, not sure if they should get warm or stay cool?

What relay? Do you mean solenoid?

No problem bud.

The bleeping was the indicator lol

Cheers bud

Getting there Michael.

Yes there probably is Col, I did think about it a few years ago though.

Haha, No, i'm fine lol

Haha, just avoiding the dog $h1t John lol

Hard to say without seeing it bud. sorry.

No, sorry Michael.

Cheers bud.

Do you think so lol

retrorestore how do we send you stuff? I keep bees and I'm just spinning the honey so was going to send you a jar that's if you want one?

You can email me at retrorestoreuk@gmail.com and i'll give you ma address. Cheers Martin

Haha, yes Ian, It would have helped to have an operation and instruction guide lol

retrorestore it’s easily done, I have done just such crazy things in the past myself, staring me right in the face and I did not see it! But eh, even us perfect men get it wrong on rare occasions! :) :)

Yes, I've been looking on Ebay, so dear.

Nice one Ian, glad you came through it ok bud.

Yes, I'll strip it down again before I buy a new one.

Hard to say without testing it bud, sorry.

Yes, a few hundred pounds Dave

And there's the rub - the companies that make and market these machines have no shame - they take advantage of the most vulnerable citizens. They charge prices affordable by few, put the products through minimal to no quality assurance testing, warranty the batteries through 3rd parties for 6months to a year max, and the remainder of the machines for 1to 3 years making the purchaser jump through almost impossible hoops to prove that the machine was not "abused." If every senior or disabled person could posess the knowledge, skill and physical strength shown here, there wouldn't be so many isolated, lonely people sitting at home with no way to get out and about. Oh and don't forget that you must only use these on well paved surfaces, during dry weather - they can't figure out a way to waterproof -- like cars, bicycles, shoes, baby carriers , etc.

Sorry bud, I don't.

I had thought about it a few years ago but didn't pursue it.

retrorestore there are so many out there for sale as spares as repairs very cheap and mostly it’s silly little problems. All you need is a small trailor and you’re set mate.

Haha and it has a basket lol

I just googled it

Nice one John, This one is used daily.

No Bert, it's the main motor brake. It has a manual parking brake though.

Haha Nice idea Paul

It was the indicator Baz lol

Hahahahah. lol

I don't know anything about them Matt.

I don't know anything about these Si.

!2 if I remember rightly.

Haha, there's a thought lol

Yes it worked, Check out part 2 at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rd18ZM2Qvbe-e4k.html

Thanks for your feedback. Do you know if you can ride it without the electric brake?

@@wimleo71 Its dangerous to do that bud.

@@retrorestore well... on my other scooter the brake is still there, but not on the mother anymore... just wrapped to the chassis ... and still, everything works.. even the motor brake

its so it doesn't roll off when you come to a standstill

@@retrorestore At 11:20 time frame as you are about to take the spring out, isn't there suppose to be a yoke of some sort inside the spring? Doesn't the magnetic field of the coil act on that yoke pulling it down and perhaps the yoke's top edge lip of it cover the spring and by that top edge it pulls the spring down, realesing the tension. Maybe that is why the solenoid is not working. The coil as you said had the right resistence spec. How else would the tension of the spring be released? I doubt if the magnetic field works on the spring itself. I would assume it does but it won't be concentrated enough to exert enough force on it to compress it. Also if you look closer at the pressure plate , the third piece you took out looks like it is upside down backwards. There is clear circular recess in the center of it. Doesn't that recess part suppose to face down toward the spring, si the spring and the yoke gets seated and alighned in the center and straight up just for good operation? Furthermore the recessed part is circular, not 6 sided or whatever so to accomodate that motor yoke. I bet if you flip over that pressure plate you will see the marking of the motor yoke against it. It is my detective inside telling me. It is just an idea. I am no expert. I think somehow someobody forgot to put the yoke back on, then got the pressure plate installed backwards.. if this thing had been worked on before.....I don't know.

Yes, I know a bit more about them now Bill.

Haha, too many other projects on.

Maybe one day Dan lol

Wheeeeeeee.................. :)

Haha, Maybe one for the future.

Yes Colin Furze did a good one.

just watched the 4 videos,pretty slick

I did in the video haha It was bright out today.
