as an FYI, the word "amateur" derives from the Latin meaning "one who loves what they do". In other words, I'll trust a dedicated amateur over a "pro" any day. YMMV.

Pics and Vids / My eZuma project
« on: September 17, 2018, 06:49:03 PM »
Recently I was able to acquire an electric 2017 Chinese Zuma clone via Craigslist. The price was right and I was ready to bite the bullet. This bike is typical of Chinese eScooters in that it uses a fairly common 72v 2000w motor/controller platform, which limits it to 30mph top speed and 25mile range. I plan on upgrading this sorry excuse for an electric motorcycle into my go-to errand bike capable of 60mph/50mile range.
I'll start with a photo from day 1 -- directly after picking up via Craigslist. Notice the heavy use of decorative plastics and decals. Not to my taste. Those will have to go. I like my bikes naked!
So 24 hrs later, my busy hands were happy to remove the extraneous decorative plastics and decals. Note: it was easy to remove the decals: 20 secs each with a heat gun was enough to loosen 'em up, then just peal away. This "bare bones" state is where I begin the journey.
More to come later.
