Vego SX600 and Vego IQ450 Batteries
As of March 2008, we do not have enough orders to have these batteries manufactured. The manufacturer requires a minimum, most of which would be discarded at the end of their shelf life.
Below are some alternative ways to power your Vego scooter. They do not restore its original capacity, but they bring it to 90% of its original range (distance per charge). Please be careful with batteries and associated wiring. You won't get shocked, but each battery has enough power to melt copper, aluminum, thin steel, etc.
For SX600, you can squeeze four 12V
10AH batteries into the space. We've tried it.. it works, but you have to turn the scooter upside down to
coax the batteries out. It is a tight fit. If your connectors are bad, replace them with something standard like
Anderson 50A connectors (you need two
to make a connection -- one on the scooter, one on the battery pack).
For IQ450, you can get 10AH batteries into the space, but you have to use foam or some other material to
hold the front battery in place to keep it from damaging the circuit breaker.
Be sure to observe the polarity of the old batteries and connect
the new ones the same way. You'll find that battery 1 negative connects to the
scooter, battery 1 positive connects to battery 2 negative, and battery 2
positive connects to the scooter.
These are the best solutions we have to offer. Since Vego has been out of business for so long, it is not likely the situation will improve. The only scooter we know of that is comparable in reliability and quality is the
GoPed ESR750.
