i’m glad that you got it sorted out and I’m glad you found value in the video that is very rewarding to hear Thank you for commenting and thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.

Did it get wet while you were driving? If the machine is under power, or basically, electricity flowing through the circuitboard, and the circuitboard gets wet, it is possible to create a short circuit and blow or destroyed part of that board Another thing that also happens is it gets damp over a long period of time and the wires for the capacitor rust and then after period of time they won’t work anymore If you’re driving and you go through a deep puddle and the scooter stops, the batteries are not under water Stop get off the unit, put it in neutral and pull it out of the puddle. Do not turn it on again until everything is 100% dry almost like putting a cell phone fell in water into rice to absorb all of the moisture out of the actual phone. Water is the enemy of electronics and everything on that unit is electrical. There isn’t a good quality made Scooter on the market. Some of them have splash covers and that’s about it I seen you at when you look underneath the electronics are 100% exposed. The unit is dry 100% turn the unit back on most likely it will still run. If it doesn’t run check the fuses and also check terminals for corrosion.

It could be unfortunately in Canada. We don’t have the large variety that you guys have in the US. And all honesty I could use an empty filter because I change the oil every 3000 km not miles that’s what 1500 I have 64,000 km on the unit right now and change the oil probably 20 times I’m currently trying to trade this in for a Toyota RAV4 but unfortunately there’s a year to two year waiting list

we don’t have a harbour freight that I know of in Canada but they’re absolutely isn’t one of my area if we did I would shop there all the time The US has dozens of stores that me being a Canadian have never heard of, and when I go there, I am just amazed like Menards that store blew me away. There was so many great deals.

That’s awesome. I’m glad that this video helped and thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.

When I started planning on this Van build I how to deal to purchase a sprinter van at a very very low price and the deal kind of fell through so I ended up buying a Winnebago view, which has the front end of a sprinter and a Winnebago back There was never going to be a Motor I was going to use kinetic energy to raise and lower the bed in the form of the spring a garage door spring. I still might make this, but I need a place to install it. Ray

@@shopandmath oh I get you, thats brilliant! I wondered what kinetic meant, sorry if you said in the video :) can you speculate why people don't use motors? I think I may be naive thinking appropriate wire would cost a tenner gbp and the motor £20 as, say, an ebay windscreen wiper motor. I've thought on it for years and can't think where there might be flaws or hazards in the system; as steel stretches, the <£1 limit switches would keep the range within those parameters mechanically and all corners relative; easy adjustment with a screw tensioner and butt hinges for a 2/1 pulley with thin unistrut or extrusion and roller guides :o less head room but could sit below or raise for garage access, specific to individual and needs. The system would be modular too, could go manual til a motor upgrade down the line :o Van builds are so intimidating, but I hope you appreciate my asking around for advice so I could potentially learn or get a different angle on something from another's experience :) I have some wild ideas mind, I do wonder on the fruition:") I suppose you're not at liberty to disclose how/where to get them cheap but my step dad says the £500 immobile vans on ebay are the way to go, as they usually just need simple fixes like new lights or housigs etc. Any experiences you could advise please bud? I understand you probably gets tons of messages and questions though Thanks! :)

Thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking the time to comment is much appreciated I will be coming out with more camping related content and repairs soon Ray

I did Got a lot of projects that just grow on to have a life of their own. You’ll win if you don’t give up.

Without me, actually seeing the unit, it can’t be a little difficult to talk to you about it If you have long bolts and you need to remove the bolts and it’s just the stud sticking out, if you double nut the bolts, you can unscrew the stud but you have to be careful if these were Loctited in place, you may remove the threads and you don’t wanna do that Use extreme caution

first off thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated. I have a super cost savings way of producing these bearings by simply using angle brackets and 3-D Printing the bearing itself From 1 kg of 3-D Printing material I could probably make at least 20 bearings out of cost of around $30 for the roll A flat piece of aluminum in two angles, and a couple of screws. If you don’t have a shop to do this, you could go to a place like the Steele store. (this is a local place close to me.) and they would cut the material to size for you for a small fee per cut. I’m guessing you could probably produce these bearings for around $20 each, I hope that this helps, and there’s nothing wrong with saving a couple of dollars here and there just as long as everything we do is safe Ray

Thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking time to comment. It is much appreciated.

sorry, I don’t sell I just wanted to make some videos to help other people make decisions on buying I’ve bought multiple for my father and unfortunately my wife is in a situation where she may require one as well I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Ray

i’m kind of cheap and I like to use stuff that I have readily available or build something from scratch I don’t make stuff to sell this project build is on the back burner. I recently acquired a Winnebago view.

Yes, Jets can be drilled larger but every time I’ve done it it turns out bad. You might’ve better luck than me.

if everybody did that, or God forbid, they did it from the factory servicing. These units would not be a problem, but they do not want you to service these units. They want you to replace them. If we all lived in a place that didn’t snow or use salt most of these issues would not happen

out of curiosity, what type of environment do you drive this in? I’m from Canada and my father was driving it in the snow and salt that is horrible for the machines but he needs to get around that promoted rust and contributed to seasoning onto the axle What type of environment do you drive in?

@@shopandmath im in iowa so were pretty heavy on the salt in winter but hell this thing is less then a yr old the dealers here they get butt hurt n wont work on your stuff if ya dont buy it from them

I had fallen under the myth that Honda engines were perfect the best, but apparently they’re not I’m currently trading mine in for a RAV4. The only problem is I gotta wait six months for a year to get it

Thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking time to comment. It is much appreciated.

The axle seal wasn’t leaking. This unit is owned by my uncle and he likes to do maintenance. Unfortunately, he lubricated the brake pads.

Thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking time to comment is much appreciated and I hope things work out for you Wish you all the best Ray

hopefully the video helped Best of luck Ray

Sometimes they just pop out other times you might need to use a small precision screwdriver to wedge it out

I agree with you, but I would say it’s only worth half the value after the first two minutes of writing on it Thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.

@@shopandmath i just bought a 2023 pride victory lx sport guy bought 3 months ago used it less then a few hrs charged it up one time i paid 1300 for a 2750 buck scooter

Why would premium fuel change anything?

Thank you for the nice comment and thank you for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.

That’s awesome Let me know how it goes. I don’t think you should have any problems with 3-D Printing. Those bearings at all.
