Need Help To Derestrict Ezee Torq

[flecc]

The stub is buried behind the rest of the loom usually Nick, just below the battery platform, but there have been a lot of small variations during the Torq's life. I've never received a mention of a missing stub via my Torq site though, so it could be yours is non standard.

Alternatively, the insulation on the stub has varied from time to time, sometimes red, sometimes black, so another variation is that your three stub wires might have been bound as one into one of the loom sections, and so are hidden.

Hi,

I like to clear an issue here.

1) In a conflict of interest between what customer or the market likes and what is legal. eZee takes the legal way, this is absolutely essential for long term consideration. This is not neccessarily the same for 50cycles, they like just to "sell" that is it. Sometimes we give way to the pressure, but this time I say "no". Specification has been clearly informed and advise. If they don't pay attention and there is nothing I could do with what 50cycles writes on their website.

2) The police would not be monitoring the bike speed, but what is someone got into a serious accident, and an investigation starts from there ?

3) The controllers are the same for the US+Canadian vs EU market. The motors are wound differently for speed and watts.

4) Battery life and amps drawn. As a simplified illustration the old model Torq would draw max. 16 amps at max. torque, the New Torq motor could draw over 20 amps and with a much higher torque delivered, that it operated right up to the maximum limit 20 amps imposed by the controller. The USA+Canada version for 350watts and 250 rpm would accelerate and do higher maximum speed operating at much higher Amps, but in fact lower max torque than the 250 watt because it reach 20 amps with more rpm.

And higher Amps operations would reduce battery life no doubt about it. Why I seem less concerned in USA+Canadian market vs UK ?
The level of competence, sophistication and reasonableness is at a very different level for my distributor in USA+Canada vs UK.

Is your Torq second hand? I remember somebody had a controller replaced (as it had water damage due to going in a pond or similar). They mentioned that the new controller didn't have the ability to be restricted so it maybe yours is similar.

sounds like the relationship beetween ezee and 50 cycles,is very strained they should be pulling together,or sales will fall off.

Hi Harry,

Yes, I got it from John (Aldby) on this forum.

if the kalkhoff bikes sell i would think 50 cycles will reduce the ezee range. i wouldnt be that surprised if they didnt stock ezee at all in a years time.
