    Need help troubleshooting no power to motor ....

    (i posted this on endless sphere but so far: crickets. thought i'd try here, since ya'll have been so helpful to me in the past.) I bought this Coolrun scooter used the other day.

    Power pulses from start with throttle only

    I have a Magnum Low Rider that when I ramp up to speed, say to 6 or 7 mph, it constantly pulses. It does this only when using the throttle. If I'm peddling, it's a pretty smooth rise. But peddling leads to too fast a start for me, so I'm feathering the throttle up but it sure makes for an...

    What determines low-speed ramp-up smoothness?

    hi, court: i'm teaching my dog how to walk next to me and my magnum low rider, using throttle only, is super herky jerky going up to 5 or 6 mph, prime walking speed, whereas my girl's ride1up 700 is super smooth. i called my magnum dealer who told me something like my bike's gearing and motor...

    New Magnum Cruiser running toooo slow ... I think.

    I've had my Magnum Cruiser Lowrider for a week now and haven't gotten out on it much but when I have, it seems to be mighty slow, compared to the ebikes I owned in the distant past, including a Radwagon and a Pedego Interceptor. It can barely make it up some pretty tame hills. For all I know...

    Ways to make my ride more cushy?

    So, my new magnum lowrider cruiser has a front suspension fork but it doesn't do all that much, prolly because at 170lbs i don't weigh that much, so i'd like to see what my other options are. the most obvious thing is a suspension seatpost but the one i can afford at this juncture, the satori...

    any other foot-forward bikes besides magnum and townie?

    Well, i'd been looking at bikes w/ 20" tires so i could plant my feet solidly on the ground when at a standstill but then i went and saw the magnum low rider, which has a foot-forward design w a 26" tire, and i liked that much better. unfortunately, at $2,250, it's out of my price range. The...

    Way to up stability at low speeds?

    My dog likes to trot next to me while I'm on my Pedego. I've got her on a stretchy leash attacked to a chest-type harness, so, no, I am not dragging her around by the collar. My main problem is, she's a small dog and I can't go slow enough without a lot of wobble. I'm generally moving around...

    Winter battery storage?

    So, it's getting cold here in New England -- 26 degrees when I woke up this morning. Yikes. A few battery questions: I'll continue to ride my bike for a while longer. During this time, with the temps dropping, do I need to do anything special with the battery? Keep it inside? Charge less...
