Mongoose Z350 scooter

Late last fall I picked up a scooter. (2014) Some body lost interest.  So I pulled it into the shop this spring and took a look at it. Of coarse the batteries were shot.  Got the batteries and a charger put them in and sort of got it running.  Had to repair a tire tube. Then I noticed the brake was a little tight and also looking at the motor and drive sprocket looked miss aligned.  I took the whole rear end drive apart and had to do some realigning to get the sprockets to align closer.  After I got the batteries charged took it for a ride down the road.  Not to bad!!  for a  24VDC scooter.   The chain is not coming off if I leave it a little loose. But if I manually push the scooter it will come off.  So for now I think I will use it and see how it works.  If it gives me problems I will have to take the rear apart again.  It will be a great scoot around swaps, shows ect.  It is pretty nice that it has 12" tires and a seat.  I have searched and seen other ones with less. small wheels and no seat,  $140.   I can scoot slow and check out the swaps!!    Not sure what they cost new  $250. I think??   So far I got $50. in it..       snowworks

During the Memorial holiday nice weather here in MI I took a cruze in my electric Mongoose Z350.  Moves right along!!   Not sure the range on a scoot??  I do not think I would go more than 2 mile out. Still have to get back 2 miles.  I went about 3 miles total I think and it did not have the pick up as it first did. Charged it up and see about next time.  Here is a pic..
