Hi Leigh, the horsepower you quoted for the BugE makes it look as though some variable gearing would be ideal to get the most from the motor and help with...
Can any of the BugE owners/builders here confirm that an MSO/MCO document ships with the kit? The DMV here doesn't care what the vehicle looks like as long as...
Hi Fred, Probably not much help but the BugE has been registered here in Oregon. I had entertained the idea of getting one this year but will most likely have ...
Being a hands-on sort of fellow, I like the idea of putting together a BugE from kit. If there is a way to make certain that it can be done in Florida, it...

Sorry, those last links seemed to crap out! Radio Shows form the track during the Electric Dragin and then on Monday from Maynard's Garage. You-Auto-Know Radio...
Thanks Alan, That looks well worth further investigation. Cheers, Simon. _____ From: power-assist@yahoogroups.com [mailto:power-assist@yahoogroups.com] On ...
Fred, My BugE kit is sitting a 2 hour drive away, otherwise I would be happy to answer your question. Might I suggest you email Mark Murphy direct - I'm sure...
Dan, This seemed a bit more helpful: http://www.gokartsupply.com/comet.htm These seem to be designed for ICE use, and I wonder if the different style of power...
... The stuff on that page seems like overkill. ICEs engage with tremendous torque surges, and the lightest torque converter that page shows handles 3-8 hp,...

Dan, Your hp figures are a wee bit off - 3.8hp continuous 13hp peak is closer to the mark. And I totally agree - single speed to start with. No point in adding...
... Wasn't someone saying 600 watts? ... Well, if you have serious hp, then the torque converter might be no problem. I wonder if it locks once the speeds...
Hi, I am in Australa, inexperienced with electric bicycles, but looking forward to it. I have ordered a gl-1 hubmotor www.users.bigpond.com/ solarbbq/GL1.htm...
Australa? In Australia there is a Distributor for LifeBatt Lifepo4, his name is Armin but I don't know if he has a website. You can contact him via ...
I suspect loose wires or pins on the throttle connector. Check them closely where the pins go into the connector. Sometimes they come loose. Juergen...

I usually try a different throttle unless I see smoke pouring out of the controller. Crystalyte throttles (with 3 LEDs) are failure prone. You need to try one...
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I'm not sure I understand your question on the rocker switch because I am not familar with a two speed controller...
Just a couple of questions. When you say "RED LED" are you describing the LED on the throttle or the one on the side of the controller? The reason I ask is...
Just to add a bit of humor and I hope the guy who did this does not see it. I kept replacing Instant Start Controllers for one guy and nothing was working and...
Okay so you were posting while I was writing out the question. So you have one of the newer V2 Digital controllers. The first time that I saw one of these...
Good advice for Chuck and saves me emailing you and Kent about this. Kent said he was having problems with his LED Throttles using the new V2 Controllers. FWIW...
you know.....I really feel sort of BAD about this, but isn't this "darwin at work" Or as PT Barnum once said, "Nothing beats an ocular demonstration!" In my...
