Solution to Ego-II electric scooter belt drive breakage
- 14 years ago
Convert the Ego to a 30MPH electric scooter, 15-minute fast charge
The Ego-2 costs only $1,100 retail. It can be modded to 30MPH with 36
volts and chain-drive modification.
With a 15-minute charge, commuting travel becomes a possibility on
the
Ego. The manufacturer says it has a 20-mile range, but that is imho
only for "flat terrain", at perhaps 12MPH, without stops. In hilly
terrain, stop-go travel, the Ego Cycle 2 may have a range of 8 miles,
depending on rider weight and cargo carried.
The Ego has an advaatage over 500-watt ebikes, EVT and "Vespa"
scooter: The Ego-II can
pull a bike trailer UPHILL, with 100 lbs. of cargo,
groceries, etc. Also, with a trailer, the rider is safer imho from
car
drivers, who sometimes play "chicken" with cyclists.
The Ego-II, when made more reliable with chain drive and other mods,
imho is the most practical means of electric biking. No other
electric
bike, moped, or scooter, imho, comes close to delivering a package at
such an affordable price.
