As a reminder to all of our customers.

Our business insurance covers us for sales and services on electric scooters. We have run into several issues that have required us to use our insurance when the rider of a device has hurt themselves or someone else. Our insurance was very clear that we are not covered for any lawsuits or legal expenses on any devices that do not meet the legal definition of an electric scooter. If you own a mototec and the speed restriction has been modified or removed, we cannot service it, if you have a scooter that goes over 20mph, we cannot service it. This is not me personally trying to tell you I don't want your business this is me protecting myself and my business and this is what the requirements are to do so. I am attaching the legal definition of what Iowa has defined as an electric scooter for reference.

We were told today that an Ankeny highschool called a group of kids in the office to tell them they can't ride their mototec's to school since they are not legal. I promptly contacted the police department and inquired about this as we spoke last week and I was told they are still classified as scooters since they are under 100 pounds and the speed is locked to 20mph. I will update this post with what I hear back.

From what the kids were told the bikes have the ability to go over 20mph so just being locked to 20mph doesn't count. I explained that every scooter that has a 20 mph max speed isn't the max speed it magically stops at it is a restriction that can easily be bypassed. If they respond with the reply that it's too easy to adjust the speed past 20mph I already have several solutions ready to roll out if needed.

Mototec 48v and 60v update.

48v:
The most recent order arrived with a few different parts than the previous bikes have had. The biggest change was the brake levers and calipers. The new version doesn't have the brake sensor that cuts power when you apply the brake. This also means our brake light kit will not work on this version of bike (we are calling this gen 4). Although this is a bummer the bright side is the brake pads and calipers are bigger so they will have more clamping force and more stopping power than the previous version.

60v:
I am still waiting to get a reply but I am assuming it's for the same reason the Iowa DNR attorney contacted us over the past few weeks. We have all seen the news and the crack down on e moto's. According to federal law if it goes over 34 mph and you are selling it from a shop it is required to come with a title since it's a motor vehicle. The last 2 orders of 60v have all had the unrestricted speed reduced from 42mph down to 34mph and the max peak power dropped from 2950w (3000w) down to around 2500w peak power. We are calling these gen 3 now with this update and will update the website as well.

Tonight I was in the shop after I closed just catching up on work and a group of boys stopped in (maybe 6 in total). They wanted to know if they could buy a few parts and install them and use my tools. Although we really only make money on labor I couldn't say no. Hopefully the boys and or parents will see this and know you guys are awesome! It was like a NASCAR pitstop in there. They each had tools and a specific task and were working together and having a blast. It was absolutely amazing to see. I hope everyone made it home safe before the weather got nasty.

Starting to see more and more parents arrested and charged for allowing their kids to ride electric motorcycles and causing damage to people and property. This mom is looking at up to 6 years of prison time (according to the article).

Please be careful out there. 100 pounds, 20 mph.

As many of you have seen, Ankeny just posted the new laws for scooter, e bikes and e motos. I spoke with Ankeny PD today and can confirm if you're on a mototec that we sell (under 100 pounds) and the speed restriction has not been adjusted or removed they are perfectly legal and classified as an electric scooter. If the speed restriction has been adjusted it will be classified as an e moto and you are at risk of a hefty ticket and bike impounded.

Little teck tip for all the diy'ers.

If you have a gen 3 48v or gen 2/3 60v with the single cable entry and want to reduce the risk of water damaged this is what we have found to work the best.

Water will pool in the rubber boot the cable passes through. Use some liquid electrical tape (this worked better than silicone). Fill the area so water doesn't have anywhere to settle and find its way into the motor .

As a reminder, dirtbikes (gas or electric) are illegal to ride on roads, sidewalks and bike paths.

For it not to be classified as a dirtbike (motor vehicle) it needs to be under 100 pounds and a top speed of 20mph.
