Does the bike operate normally when the battery is installed? Are you getting an E03 error code on the display? An internal battery fuse may be blown or the BMS safety circuit may have tripped.

A classic "Afterburner" .

This may be true in some locations, but not all. Kids riding minibikes recklessly was a big problem where I grew up. The big difference was, when a kid got injured, there was no knee jerk, reactionary legislation passed to ban minibikes. Absolutely true. In many cases it's the parents who are...

Keep in mind, a misused UL approved battery can be just as dangerous as a cheap Chinese knockoff. Dropping, consistent overcharging, charging at a high rate or when too hot or cold can make ANY lithium battery a disaster waiting to happen. Something else to think about. Cheap batteries usually...

This thread is 3 years old. I imagine the OP has found a solution by now.

70 some years ago, when I was in grade school, a classmate had a minibike that he would ride on the street all over the neighborhood. The cops caught up with him one day and put the minibike in the trunk of the police cruiser. They took the kid & bike to the station where he was made to wait in...

Very profound, except "The Lord" is often the father in the eyes of these kids, and he's the one who bought the kid the Surron in the first place. :rolleyes:

That's a fair comparison, and the data doesn't lie. But context matters too. Living in a small apartment, the 'risk profile' feels different than in a large house with a detached garage. For those living in confined spaces, with no other alternatives, these charging cabinets might be a viable...

An automatic extinguisher is a good idea but what kind do you use? Lithium fires generate their own oxidizer, so CO2 has little effect. The ammo cans are a deterrent at best and hopefully will give me enough time to roll the rig outside. From there, I would just let it burn itself out.

Using quality UL batteries and chargers is the best preventative measure you can take, but a charging cabinet is certainly a good idea. Protecting the batteries during storage or transport is also critical. Before I built a charging rig, I used to charge batteries in a fireplace or my wood...

I appreciate your ongoing review. I'm considering the RV820, maybe you could answer a few questions I have. Web searches have not revealed many specific answers and hopefully, you could help. 1 - Can the light function be controlled from the unit itself, or does that have to be done via a...

A decade or so ago, a nearby town was plagued with kids riding ATV's on the street. Laws were passed but mostly ignored. The fix was to impound these $7K+ ATV's until a hefty fine was paid. They were held at the impound yard for 12 months and if unclaimed in that time, they were auctioned off...

Worst case scenario is, these E-moto's will cause more regulation, which will spill over into the legal e-bike market. I'm already seeing "NO EBIKE" signs popping up on some of the trails I ride.

Maybe he's too worried about getting run over. :rolleyes:
