General Discussion / Rear Brake Stuck
« on: September 27, 2022, 06:34:29 PM »
I pulled my left brake handle and the rear brake clamped down tight and now the rear wheel won't move at all. Left handle moves freely - it does not snap back into position. It had been sitting in the garage for over a year. No leaks anywhere I can see. Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks for all the help everyone. Sure enough, green was negative as I got a nice tone from my Fluke 101. No tone with the one with the red tape. I am good to go!

Karl - I found a tutorial on how to use the Fluke. Looks super easy. Will try it tomorrow and let you know what i find.

Thanks for the response Karl. I have never worked with electrical systems so I don't know how to use a continuity light or ohmmeter. Is there a link where I can learn how to do this? I have looked online and most of the instructions show multimeters.

I have a Fluke 101 digital multimeter and a Kaiweets HT206D AC/DC clamp meter. Will either of these work?

General Discussion / Battery Cable Hook-Up
« on: September 26, 2022, 11:45:06 PM »
Did a real stupid thing. Unhooked the battery a year ago and have now forgotten which cable is the positive and the negative. Both cables are black. One has green tape on it and one has red. I am guessing the one with red is the positive and placed the battery in the tray but have not hooked it up yet. Going to attach a photo. Help!

Any issues with it in colder weather so far?
The coldest I have ridden was about 50 degrees so I can’t say how the Battery Management System would handle charging in colder weather. I have read good articles by Battle Born and Relion and I know there could be problems charging in cold weather, but when the temp drops we migrate like the birds to warmer weather. LOL.

Forgot to say why I went with an expensive battery like this. I make many short trips not giving the scooter time to charge the new AGM battery I had. It got to the point I was dreading taking the scooter on these trips for fear of it not starting. The lithium charges so fast I no longer have the issue. There were less expensive lithium’s but this one had a great Battery management system so for me the extra money was so worth it. The scooter is our only transportation when we are out in our RV, which is five months every year. Love this scooter. The weight is just right for the back of the small motorhome and my wife and I can tool around and grocery shop. I have even taken it on easy four wheel drive trails in Colorado. Party on my friends!

Hi everyone - just an FYI...
I needed to replace the battery on my 2014 Like 200i and went with and EarthX ETX18F Lithium Battery. Fits perfectly and has a battery management system. It has 230 CCA and 18 Ah (equvalent). Got mine from BatteryMart.com. You can see the specs here. https://www.batterymart.com/p-ltx18f-earthx-etx18f-battery.html.

My 2014 200i is finally close to be broken in then! I just bought it and it only had 250 miles on it. The guy that had it thought he would ride it but obviously never did. It was kept in a garage covered. I ordered a new battery as it set for so long I could not get it to take a charge even with a "smart charger". Glad I found this forum. Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone - I have a 2014 Like200i and was wondering if there is a method for starting the Scooter if the battery is discharged enough that it can't get the job done?
