Scooterman wrote:I like it Terry, it's a half way house between a powerchair and mob scooter, and easier to park indoors than a big scooter. It's worth knowing about, something I might consider one day in the future instead of a mobility scooter. And the top speed is great, I saw a video of a guy on youtube going fast along suburban roads, he had what looked like a storage pod fitted to the back. It looked liked it was designed for the Optimus 2, I.E. not a 3rd party product.

Does it have 2 motors, the bigger one is in the front and the smaller one in the rear (for driving)?
snaker wrote:Yes, this chair has very good dimensions 116cm overall length and 68cm overall width, not bad for its strength. It just looks a little hooligan but that's good
If you increase the motor voltage up to 25.5V, you could gain the max speed 10+2mph.
Burgerman wrote:The indoor problem is that it cant turn in place. It drves the same as a car/scooter with normal car style steering. So many 3 or 10 point turns. And its long wheelbase so thats not so easy. But all that is better outdoors.
Burgerman wrote:Its only got one motor. It cant have 2 controllers. It uses a special and confusing rnet power module with a parallel output. Designed so that it can work like a scooter, but with a joystick in place of the handlebars. Steering is by an actuator module and a small motor as far as I know. I never took one apart but dont see any other way to do it.

There are 2 modules in between the batteries.
Which on does what I don't know.
All I can say The Beast does an AWESOME

Cant imagine it has 2 power modules.

And another where all the ports are filled up.
(1 with a dongle)

Piccie?
Burgerman wrote:What dongle?(1 with a dongle)
It will just be an inhibit wire. A link. I think.

This, dongle, software on disk, a registration nmber for updates, and a USB programming cable. https://powersoccershop.com/pcprogrammer.aspx
So it APPEARS that you bought a OEM level programmer, for THEM to disable an inhibit, or to change max speed, that you never got. That really is a 'dongle'. The thing you are looking at on the chair isnt - although I dont know what you are looking at... Because a programming dongle does not remain attached once used to make any changes.
