Fechter's Vego SX-600 test ride

My first attempt at a rolling video.
I take my scooter up some really steep hills and cruise around the neighborhood.

There is some stuff posted on Endless-Sphere. If you register there, you can mail me and I can give you a link. (can't seem to post any links here)

The pictures are a bit scrambled from a server crash, but you can get the idea.

I don't ride it anymore after I was injured in an accident with it.

Nowdays, I'd suggest a brushless RC motor and some Lipo batteries for an upgrade.

The speedo is a regular bike speedo with a wire that I extended to reach the front fork. I stuck a magnet to one of the spokes with electrical tape. Epoxy would look nicer.

how fast?

[fechterboy]

With 48v, top speed is around 27mph. At 60v, about 32mph.

hey fetcher. very cool. I saw your modified Zappy on evalbum.com.  I'm looking to modify mine in the same manner. Do you have any other info on the mods that you made?

I'm in Santa Rosa, CA. Thanks.

fechter, the batteries in my 600 are toast. i didn't dig too deep, but it looks like stock batteries are no longer made. did yours have the 2 lengthwise batteries before the 4? any modding to fit the 4?

That's a cool ride Fechterboy! You inspired me in getting my own Vego! Love the sound of electric belt drive - they are awesomely quiet and stealthy! I rode my Vego inside Office Depot the other day and they didn't even mind. I'll try the bank tomorrow with my dog Skooter. Your bad ass Vego is awesome and fast, what is cooler than that?

Hi there. Is your cycle computer wireless? What kind of cycle computer I can fit in my Vego, does it have to be wireless? Thank you
