My question:
I think dismantled the gearbox to check the oil.
I know to purge car engine oil and oil gear...but, in a segway gear box, it's Oil like the Gear box of car ? (75W80 liquid)
Or an "graphite" grease like in scooter engine ? (solidifies at low temperature to adhere to the bearings)
thank you for your advice...  |
Don't open the gearbox, nothing inside it is user servicable and it will never run right again after being opened. Based on your description it sounds like you have a worn elastometer. A worn elastometer won't cause you to lose traction, it will however make your unit louder.
