French .mil have 65km units, updated firmware and controller
Guess it helps them run away faster!
200km on this thing, its great fun,- 1

There was allegedly beast mode available in the USA 65kmh but the motors would overheat after a few km
65kmh would be great, the hubs have internal reduction gears so get hot.

I will come if I can get a babysitter

I have been admiring these from afar for a few years,
After talking to a farmer mate who liked his, and a NZDF member who was involved in the Army trials I began to see them as more than a toy.
It is a 2WD electric motorcycle with dimensions similar to a ct90/110
I has a 1kW motor in each hub, giving actual 2WD to the knobbly tyres on 17" rims
a 3KWh battery provides up to 120km range (35kmh on a velodrome) but at 50kmh (top speed) 80km + km is most realistic
I can commute to work for a week and get to Civil Defence Training on a $1.50 charge
I have not done any serious off road on it yet but I hope to have a play over easter on a couple of tracks

I can confirm that @felixxs dodgy mechanical gauges still work, no idea what the brand is though.
Tacho wasn't much value so was pulled out
Repco brand

I used to have a legacy that sounded like a small machine gun. Poured it in, fixed in 5km
However I was rear ended a couple of months later in that car...
... wrote it off so unsure how long it was good for

I have two catchers to suit this mower if you want to somehow get them from Auckland
Thanks Pete.
I have a catcher but would love an intact mesh for the vents on the top if you have one.
Happy to pay

It's pretty typical for these.
Was told to try tilting it/lifting the back right up for a few seconds before starting when cold, might be a Barry tale but it always seemed to work for mine.
Will try it tomorrow!!
Thanks!!!

Why might it need ether or fuel added to carb on starting??
-
Bloody thing wouldnt start today.
Chucked acap of fuel down its neck and it went first pull then did myfront lawn and the other neighbours jungle.
We are now a 2 mower family

Goeshard. Air filter is currently 2 pieces of news paper.
It goes real well after a carb strip.
New fuel lines
Maximum power thru ankle deep wet grass.
Thanks for the advice

Hmmm ok. Will check throttle lever linkage as when I move it, nothing on the carb linkages moves,

Thank you so.much

Thinking the pulsing is an air flow issue..
I did notice throttle did not affect the carb butterfly,so will check if the throttle linkage is not broken too.
What have I missed?
Interestingly the mower needed starting fluid each time, so could I expect a blocked jet..

Found this on the side of the road.
Threw it in the truck and gave it a clean up.
Its swallowed half the air filter.
I cleaned the filter housing and threw some fresh fuel in.. pull pull nothing
Sparkplug was dry
Threw some start ya bastard in its neck
2nd pull it ran for 5 sec
Tried again, reved hard then began sucking fuel and ran like the vid..
At inlaws for dinner so will look at carb clean and reattaching throttle linkage after work this week.
