Thanks, it definitely gets a lot of attention. Older people always want to talk.

Added one more badge:

Several rides, nothing bad to report. My friend rode it and loved it, so that is good. Well over 100 miles now. So, EmVeeTee made me some 3D printed badges and I painted them up. Fortunately he gave me his test badges so I could play with sanding and painting them. Black spray paint first...

Vespa people will see it. I also adjusted the caliper on the brake rotor to "hopefully" eliminate the low speed brake howl I have.

I'm pretty confident that I could ride 40mph for a solid 45+ miles. My issue is a lead wrist. I do have a 3 poll switch that I can hook up (I wired it but left it unhooked) that will moderate my power. I noticed I am climbing up to near 200 amps under hard acceleration, usually going uphill. If...

For sure, especially on only my second long ride.

So, out of town all week and I was itching to go ride. Beautiful 70° and sunny! Started the baseline with my new, old, GPS, properly secured this time. I took local roads out 16 miles, with the speed limits 40-45, I was doing that and more, easily keeping up with traffic, but there was too...

Thanks, it has been a lot of fun, with a few missteps, but it really is fun to ride!

So, successful ride, and here are the stats: 94% charge: Starting miles, 17144.5 End miles: 17169.2 Total miles: 24.7 End charge 38%. Moving time, 57 minutes, total time 1:21 minutes, with an average moving speed of 27 mph, and a top speed of 62mph. None of that tells the whole story...

Basically done. Added trim on the front, fixed a disconnected wire, cleaned it up and installed the volt/load gauge. Tomorrow I plan on a long ride to test range and endurance.

Wow, thanks, I appreciate the comments! I expect it will be a while before I am done tweaking on it, but the major stuff is done.

A little cosmetic work today. Added the legshield rails and rubber, plus new decals to the cowls!

I tend to agree.

Seat prop and battery cover done: Thinking about putting this rack back on, but I am undecided. It is functional, but not very aesthetically pleasing.

I reset a bunch of parameters on the controller. I will try it out tomorrow. One issue I am having is that the battery goes to sleep after half an hour or so, and I have to plug the charger in for a few seconds to wake the BMS. Any ideas? This is the BMS I am using...

For those interested, the weight of the scooter is now 212 pounds, around 100kg. Original weight of the p125X was 240 pounds. So I am lighter by 28 pounds. Top speed on the gas motor was 86kph, or 53mph, basically the same as mine. HP was 8, mine is around 15, but apples to oranges as the...

Today was fun. I bled the rear brake, then added my GPS to the speedo with a suction mount, then went for a ride. The brakes are much improved since I have the rear disc, which got better and better as it bedded in. I took it on the main road and went as fast as I could. Keep in mine I am 275...

Thanks guys! I got it mostly back together today. Cleaned up and sorted the wiring, and installed the body pieces. Everything works except the power gauge. I popped it by crossing a wire. Tomorrow it will be tested.

It runs!
