Ego Cycle Conversion

Using parts from Grin, I converted my 2005 Ego Cycle LX to a more modern drive system with a hub motor and LI batteries. A lot has happened in EV technology since these scooters were designed in the late 1990s and I wanted to take advantage of that. I also wanted to keep as much of the look and feel of the original scooter as possible.

So, if you have an old Ego Cycle in your garage and want to do something similar, I’ve made a video to share what I set out to do and why, what I discovered when I went shopping for parts, what I chose to do and how it all went together, and, finally, how it turned out. Enjoy and keep those Ego Cycles on the road!
