Ezip 900 Electric Scooter
>> ezip 900 electric scooter
I purchased an ezip 900 scooter back in February because I was on crutches and didn t want to use them at work and walking the dog I was surprised at the amount of power and simplicity of operation I was very happy with the scooter until last week when the scooter suddenly stopped working When I would twist the throttle I would only get the yellow and red lights and an audible click Knowing how a DC wiring system works from having boats I decided to troubleshoot the problem before calling tech support What I found was the jumper wire between the batteries the wire connecting the positive terminal on the one battery to the negative terminal on the other battery to make the 24 volts was broken at the negative terminal What happened was the wire makes a turn at the terminal and this puts pressure on the wire and caused a break in the wire and also at the female plug This might be a problem on some other 900 s The easy way to fix this is to get some 10 guage wire with 2 female clips use 10 guage because when you are using full power going up a hill it can carry the current cooler and eliminates the problem of overheating the wire and make a new jumper Be sure to measure and leave enough wire to make bend easier I tried the scooter after the fix and really put it through its paces going up hills and using full power as much as possible It works like a charm
Overall I am happy with the scooter and would recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a scooter By the way I an 70 years old and weigh 235 pounds and it carries me with no problem Weight is no problem also I fold the handlebars down and lift it into the back of my SUV to take it to work and back
>> Only a fool would say this scooter is not good
OMG let me just say WOW I owned an ezip 400 for school at UCLA but it just wasnt cutting the hills on campus and would shut down on me if I pushed the motor So I bought the ezip 900 and this thing was made for hills and everything I also get a lot of attention with the scooter when I ride it like questions and comments Luckily I live in California so scooters are treated like bikes I was going to get the 1000 but I prefer a chain drive because I like to free wheel down hill If you shut off the engine when going down hill you have gravity take over which is fun Anyway Im happy with the scooter only a fool would complain about it Also the person who complained about putting it together BHAHAHAHAHA Whats so hard about screwing in the front wheel and handlebars This is a great buy you wont be sorry
>> A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY
If I had known what a piece of crap this thing was before I bought it I would have burned the money first At least I could have warmed my hands by the fire The instructions for assembly are about as easy to comprehend as a fire drill in the state asylum So completely frustrated was I by the so called easy to assemble instructions that rather than return it I tossed it in the garbage I am second to none in my ability to follow instructions not matter what the product and in my 57 years I have NEVER had a problem putting anything together from computers to bicycles If you want an electric scooter or bicycle buy it from a local dealer that will assemble it and take responsibility for the quality and servicing of the product PLEASE DON T BUY ANYTHING MANUFACTURED BY CURRIE UNLESS YOURE A MASOCHIST OR YOU VE GOT MONEY TO BURN I ll say it again WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP
