alcatraz Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Hey euc friends I've lost the rubber charge port cap and wonder if there's a simple replacement commonly available? I bet it's the same port on lots of gotway wheels. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawpie Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) ask @ShanesPlanet, I do believe he prints charge port caps in a multitude of colors. Of course, getting a wee hunk of plastic across the ocean isn't gonna be worth it. Probably. But if were wrapped in a tee shirt and ShanesPadsV2, maybe?

alcatraz Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Thanks! I was just thinking "oh this common bottle cap fits like a glove". Edited August 18, 2021 by alcatraz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) I toss in caps when people buy my pads. The sherman is a little different, but the rest of the gotways are mostly the same. I also have a 3rd variant to fit lightning+ scooters. I'd offer to send you a few, but shipping just caps(Canada?) is kind of an expensive endeavor. Quite a few people offer them as well. Of course, mine are official ShanesPlanet gear, so it's simply better. Edited August 19, 2021 by ShanesPlanet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellkitten Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 https://sugru.com/ This stuff works well for rubber fabricated bits. I’ve never made a plug cover with it, but it should work if you’re a diy type. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcatraz Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Ok, this is awkward. I found it! It's been detached from the shell for years. I thought I put it on going out but apparently I didn't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanBRO Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 RevRides makes these nice 3d printed charge port covers with metal threads in them and a rubber gasket for waterproofing. They're like 5 bucks each. Unfortunately they are sold out right now 😔. Stole one from my scooter to use on my T3 and I love em! Just look up zero 10x charge port cover on Google. It's the same connector type that gotway uses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to replace them, do I have to undo or loosen something from inside the shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to replace them, do I have to undo or loosen something from inside the shell? I simply pulled my old ones off. Its just a ring under a lip. The new ones go on the same way. YOu simply slide it under and pull as if it were an o-ring. I used guitar picks to help. DO NOT use metal tools. At least with mine, they are flexible, so you can pull that ring under there. I typically send spares, in case one gets ruined. They do flex a lot, but its still possible to overstretch. I wouldnt see any reason to open the shell. Caps are installed AFTER the socket is already in the shell. Some wheels use glue on the connector inside teh shell, others use the nut. SO far, I've noticed the gab from shell to lip on the outside connector, is much less gap than most gotways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantraguy Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 OK thanks. Mine is from (I think) the newest batch of Shermans, and there is zero gap between the charge plug and the shell; I tried carefully removing one of the existing ones by prying it out but it simply broke off with the rest of the ring stuck behind the plug. Some day I'll have to remove the shell and go in that way; the plug is held on with a nut on the inside, which has been gooped to stop the nut spinning off (Chinese version of Loctite I guess). I'm not excited about trying to stick a metal wrench in there, so close to the control board and other connectors, to hold / turn the nut; maybe I'll try making a plastic wrench to avoid having to disassemble more. Anyway, thanks for the info - I'll get an order in some time for some of your fancy coloured caps. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
