Kristof Willen Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The kill switch on my trusty Gotway Nikola+ is starting to behave badly: it sometimes stops working, even while carrying the wheel. This is No Fun (tm), frightening and possibly even deadly when this is happening while descending some long stairs in the station in the middle of the morning commute crowd. It is a usability nightmare to stop/start the wheel each time before dealing with stairs, not even mentioning the irritating BEEP-HEY-LOOK-AT-ME-TOODOOLOO startup sound. Does anyone have an idea how easy this is to repair ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) In what kind of world does anyone think its ok to descend a set of train station stairs in the middle of a morning commute crowd on an euc? Edit: Apologies, seems like you are indeed trying to carry it down the stairs... Maybe pull the switch out and try some electonics contact cleaner? Or simply replace it would be an option?

alcatraz Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I don't know about the Nikola but on the MCM5 it's just a tiny circuit board that slides into one half of the shell. The cable only has two wires and the board only has two microswitches on it. You could order spare switches and solder them on, or clean/adjust the existing ones.
