Gadgetfann Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) My new Gotway MSX 84V arrived today, but came with the Chinese 2 prong power cord. Does anyone know where I can buy the US equivalent cord? Edited March 12, 2019 by Gadgetfann Subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Laptop cord that fits into most laptop bricks. Pretty common cord. Best Buy for sure, but probably many others. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houseofjob Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Look up "2-wire non-polarized replacement power cord". Any Home Depot or hardware store should also have, or Amazon, or possibly Bed Bath & Beyond 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it makes a difference, if you can't use it anyway Edited March 12, 2019 by esaj 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany (Sweden too) looks like "whaaaaat" after getting whacked on the head, France and Poland and India have had too much to drink and see the world upside down, Italy and Switzerland are looking trough a slit and getting painted by a laser, while Euro has not been painted yet, UK have had faaaar to much to drink and passed out upside down, Australia and China look dejected, Israel looks hyped up, The US looks like "woot", with or without a mouth.

If the charger has an output of 84V, the connector fits, and the connector pin layout is the same, then yes. If you have a multimeter you can check the voltage and the pin layout. I would definitely not plug it in before measuring the pins, since the MSX doesn’t necessarily have any protective measures towards a wrong charger. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GQS Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 An international plug adapter might be cheaper than a cord. Consider just adapting the plug to US. The local dollar stores have the adapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 That cable should cost around $1 - $2. I would not use a $2 international adapter for charging my daily ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
