When I was in the Sears Auto shop getting a new car battery, I noticed that they have yellow-top Optimas. If they're the right ones, that might save you the...
You have to be careful because there are both Deap discharge and starter motor version of the Yellow Tops. If I remember correctly the Deap Cycle batteries...
for the lectra because i did and had to take them back. the side posts on these batteries will face each other and force the batteries apart requiring another...
Anyone have problems in wet weather. Had the side panels off and drove 1 mile when the road was slightly wet. suddenly the redlight went on and off when the...
Hi Eli I think you deserve a serious answer. I do not ride a lectra but I have been a member of the list for a while. I do ride an electric scooter daily and I...
OK, OK.... All kidding aside, as noted, the need for good, solid connections cannot be overemphasized. It sounds, though, like you got moisture on what we...
Hi Eli Back in July/August last year I reported in this group a damp related fault on my pre-production Lectra (VIN 011). This was after the bike had been left...
Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on my situation with a Lectra that was barely used for 4-5 years (see below). As mentioned in August, when I first...
Hi Emannuel, What did I tell ya? These batteries are amazingly forgiving. Congratulations! Randy (Still hanging out...) ... 32 ... batteries ... 4 ... the ......
Friends, I have #14. I have ~1500 miles on it. It has been fine for the intented purpose, driveing around lake to work (10 miles). The go switch cuts out...
Hello Gordon, ... Well, I also emailed Scott C. who thinks that due to the intermittant nature of the problem, and the complete recovery, it is the ground wire...
Forgive the intrusion Ralph, I am illumicon (James) one of the administrators, though I have to be honest, increased responsibilities at work have meant that...
Has anyone seen this ? I emailed the guy and he says hes sold about 6 units. Its built off a custom frame and its the first real-looking electric sportbike...
It sure looks great, although I'm a little concerned to see the chain. The chain was always the "weak link" (no pun intended) in the Lectra; the high torque of...
I agree, the best idea would be an electric hub motor. Unfortunately, the one's you can buy, are designed for bicycle use. AND, the one's that are suitable for...
I've seen it and ridden it -- it's nice. Re: Chains. A chain is the most efficient way to transfer power from a motor to a wheel -- more efficient than gears...
I agree with Scott. Being a sportbike enthusiast, one of the first major things when considering performance, is "unsprung" weight. The hub motor is great when...
As said before, The cool thing about chain combos is that you can mess with the gearing. If you want more torque, put on a bigger sprocket on the rear wheel....
Scott: Rode the bike at 30mph from Occidental Rd & 116 at 6pm this morning, so it was cold out, and the temp light was on by the time I got to Fulton Rd. So...
Hi Eli,  Sounds like a connection to your SOC meter is loose or dirty. I suggest your check and clean all connetions to the SOC panel under the dash.  As...
Hello Eli, I saw your email to Scott and think I might be having a related problem. I rode the other night and the fan came on. I put it on charge but the...
