    I have the same scooter and the same error code keeps coming up even after I have replaced the whole console. It has the same problem where it just won’t accelerate or go at all and the speedometer just stays at zero even when rolling but the brake actually works a little still. Since I replaced the console do you think it could be a problem with the hub motor? Is there a way you know I could try to fix it or what the problem could be or would I just have to buy a new scooter?

    • @ThriftyToolShed
      @ThriftyToolShed  2 роки тому

      This is the only one I have worked on so I can't say for sure. I have not seen the code come back like that. I would not know other than double check the connections going to the motor. The plug-in connector to the motor could have a bad connection. Other than that, all I would know is to take it all apart and test the motor with another controller etc. Best of luck to ya!

    great video. I have a brake controller on my g2 (E2 code) that has a need for me to solder the three wires back onto the pick-up coil.(hall sensor) The only problem I have is that I don't know which color wire goes on which of the three prongs sticking out. This is tough to find out! once I took it apart I found the Hall laying in the bottom all by itself. The screw for the brake controller had loosened apparently leading to over-limit and thus pulled the wiring off the sensor.I see know that your hall broke off flush with the body. Mine at least still has an 1/8" of all 3 probes still sticking out at least.cannot find a replacement part.

  • @coricorgi2801
    @coricorgi2801 2 роки тому +2

    I viewed both your videos on the G2 before buying one today. After assembly, I noticed that the throttle button moves smoothly over most of its travel but toward the end, perhaps 90% of the way down, it meets resistance. I can push past it but it feels like a mild click action. Should I suspect this should not be happening since your videos never mentions anything like that?

    • @ThriftyToolShed
      @ThriftyToolShed  2 роки тому +1

      This one did not do that, but this is the only one I worked on and it had throttle issues already! The one I put on was aftermarket so maybe different. Does anyone else here have experience to share that information?

    • @coricorgi2801
      @coricorgi2801 2 роки тому +2

      I took it out for a fairly long ride for the first time last night. I noticed that when pressing down on the throttle, it will signal with an "H" on the display that it is switching modes from I presume the lower than 10 mph mode to "H" mode where it can go up to 15.5 mph. There is no mention about that in the manual. It did make me wonder if that bump I feel in the throttle might be related to how it knows when to switch modes. I might use your video to take the throttle control off just to see what that bump is. The other possibility is that something like the bump might have been what damaged or knocked off the hall effect sensor in the control that you replaced.

      I have not seen that issue to say for certain. I would lean toward the console, but I would take the battery out and check it first and make sure it's nothing obvious. It's fairly easy to pull out since it just unplugs as you pull. At least do a voltage check.

    • @ThriftyToolShed
      @ThriftyToolShed  2 роки тому +1

      Well it's best to discharge into a resistor or even a 120v incandescent light bulb will work. Let something like a screwdriver go across the capacitor (which is across the + &- terminals) will work as far as keeping you from getting the discharge across you but not best practice because it will be a dead short and arc.

      I did not have that issue with this one to say for sure. If I had seen that issue I would have shared it. The battery could cause that, but the low battery should come on the display so maybe not. The motor or controller could both cause this, but the controller should give a motor fault if an issue is detected. The first thing I would suspect is the controller, but hard to say without swapping parts and simply troubleshooting it. Best of luck to ya!

    Using this scooter for short commutes is the way to go, as it makes it really fun. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxvyNuxpWiHTNypxG6nyqyf7ywc7Q16PDM Both the levels of speed it allows you to use are very fun, though 20mph can get pretty scary on bad roads. It makes a cool electric sound as it is accelerating. The battery life is also pretty impressive, as I can go anywhere around me within a ~10 mile radius and back home with a full charge. I expected the tires to feel somewhat like a toy, but it is legit, and has pretty good grip on surfaces. Braking on this scooter is also really fun, since you can even do a little drifting if you break hard. The wheels on the scooter are definitely very high quality, as they are wide and well sized. The entire scooter is pretty high quality too. I have fallen on it a couple times because I was being a little reckless, and the scooter still works perfectly fine, with some minor scratches on the sides. I found the brake lights to be very cool as well, since they flash when you brake.

      I do believe it would, as I stated in the video, I used the one I found with the same connector. 90% of them had a different connector and some polarity seemed swapped. I tried to show the one the most viewers may also want to use. As I mentioned, I really could have soldered on the wires to any of the cheaper ones really. Guess I made the video with any diy in mind, maybe even the young fellows.
