Vehicle	2004 eGO Helio (Ego Cycle 2) OEM made Helio electric moped. Designed in the USA but made in Taiwan this low-power electric moped is classed as an electric bicycle in certain parts of the world. However, thanks to UK and EU law it's classed as a moped in the UK. As a consequence any UK rider needs to insure the eGo Helio, register and make it road-legal. You also have to have an appropriate driver's license to ride it.
Motor	eGO Series Wound DC 1.5Kw continuous rated motor, capable of 4Kw peak.
Drivetrain	Two stage, reduction belt gearing. The moped is always in gear when turned on, meaning regeneration whenever the throttle is closed.
Controller	Sevcon SC1000 SC1000 controller, by Sevcon. I'm hoping to tweak this to help increase the performance of the eGo. It's rated to 250A at up to 36V.
Batteries	2, 12.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, AGM
System Voltage	24 Volts
After owning it for just 10 days, I found it so slow and dangerous that I sold it on. I've now got an MZ ETZ 250 which I'm converting to electric. A proper bike!
