History teaches us, if we py attention Flecc, the point of my post wasn't to bash eZee for past trash batteries, but to remind them that combining a 6 month warranty with a horrible track record is not a way to maintain a customer base.

I concur I purchased my eZee Torq in July 2007. The battery and charger failed my after 100 charges. I replaced that battery 2 more times under warranty and one more time on my own dime (actually provided by an extended warranty program through my credit card). That one too tied after a very...

10 Year lifespan from How Will Toshiba's SCiB Battery Technology Impact EVs? - DIY Electric Car Forums "Toshiba announced Monday in this press release the commercial release of the SCiB (Super Charge Ion Battery). The battery's selling points are that it can recharge to 90% capacity in less...

eZee Torq, Lithium Battery S/N Sorry it took so long. I have given up trying to get a free battery so getting the S/N wasn't my top priority. Battery Serial Number: WPR00909A I'm waiting till Spring here to see what my options are. $600 for battery and charger seems really steep, but I...

Maxell sells some REALLY big capacitors. Has anyone tried to implement a capacitor solution inplace of batteries, or used them to supplement high current demand situations that would otherwise decrease the lifespan of a battery? There is another company on the horizon, Eestor, that is...

Sccoter vs. E-Bike Here in the U.S. I can't take a scooter on designated bike trails, only streets. I use my electric bike to get to work using a bike trail that reduces my rick of being run over by cars, and it is actually a more direct route to work. The exercise portion is also of...

Thanks for your lazy effort ;-) I tried to not peddle when I first got my Torq so I could compare battery life vs. distances over time, and found it nearly impossible to keep my feet idle. I have gone through 4 chargers and 4 batteries now. My last charger started burning up the internal...

Can anyone tell me what the internal dimensions are of the battery housing? I'm looking to retro-fit my existing battery with LiFePO4 but haven't figured out what dimensions I will need. Wayne

Serial Number of latest LiMn battery I posted a while back that I got $600 from my credit card company to cover the cost of a new battery and charger. I was able to keep that money in reserve since NyceWheels was able to give me a replacement based on Wai Won's willingness to stand behind his...

I have gone though 4 LiMn batteries now in my eZee Torq in the past three years. This last battery was the last one Nycewheels said they would give me for free. It was very generous, even though I feel like each of the batteries were defective. I never got 450-500 charges from any of them. This...

My Experience I received my Torq w/ lithium battery on Sept 8, 2006. I have since ridden 1300 miles on almost completely flat ground, The W&OD trail in Virginia, USA. My first battery reached 50% capacity (9.2 miles @ 20m.p.h average w/ peddling) within the first 6 months. After a winter...

Is there somthing going around? I had my original battery die early. I received a replacement that was poor in capacity and intermittent in use. It took them over a year to get these taken care of so now I am out of the warranty period. BUT, my credit card company has extended the one year...

Shut off problem I had that problem with my 2nd battery. I found that the contacts between the screws and the battery terminals were bad. The battery always worked intermittently. That battery failed eventually, and I haven't yet bought another. If the contacts on the battery show voltage, you...
