DATSUN 620 PL (Pick-up Light) TRUCKS, 1972-79: My E-Bike Transportation (While Datsuns Being Fixed)

What is this; a e-bike, e-scooter or what?

First some definitions:

Canada

Eight provinces of Canada allow electric power assisted bicycles. In seven of the eight provinces, e-bikes are limited to 500 W output, and cannot travel faster than 32 km/h (20 mph) on motor power alone on level ground.

In Alberta, the limits are 750 W and 35 km/h (22 mph).

Age restrictions vary in Canada. All require an approved helmet. Regulations may or may not require an interlock to prevent use of power when the rider is not pedaling. Some versions (e.g., if capable of operating without pedaling) of e-bikes require drivers' licenses in some provinces and have age restrictions. Vehicle licenses and liability insurance are not required.

Generally, they are considered vehicles (like motorcycles and pedal cycles), so are subject to the same rules of the road as regular bicycles. In some cases, regulatory requirements have been complicated by lobbying in respect of the Segway PT.

Bicycles assisted by a gasoline motor or other fuel are regulated differently than e-bikes. These are classified as motorcycles, regardless of the power output of the motor and maximum attainable speed.

Note that in Canada, the term "assist bicycle" is the technical term for an e-bike^{[citation needed]} and "power-assisted bicycle" is used in the Canadian Federal Legislation, but is carefully defined to only apply to electric motor assist, and specifically excludes internal combustion engines (though this is not the case in the United States).

Here are pictures of my used electric bike (e-bike) and my attempts to resurrect it. But first the photos: Along with explanations from my Facebook:

Well this is what Kenny Bergeron at #5 left behind. His mother sold it to me for $25. All I need now is to figure out what it is and what batteries it needs. Anyone know? Okay, so I've been trying to find out:

Hi Nick, good to speak with you. Here are some pictures for you to hopefully identify my GiO so I can get parts for it and get it back on the road.

GiO Model #?

I'm definitely in need of a battery as there is none. Please advise battery part # and cost, showing applicable taxes. Also the on off switch has been replaced

I'm supposed to get the pedals from the previous owner's mother, but as now, I don't have any. I may be interested to use this as a parts bike or if you have or know of where I can get another complete or for used parts, please let me know?

Thanks,

Chris J. Slater

It looks like it either needs to go back in the barn where you found or recycled.

I don't know WHO you are or why you are so RUDE, but one thing I know is I will NEVER be a paying customer at Tuff City Powersports. And I'll spread this word far and wide. YOU need to go to the barn or better yet the woodshed to be taught some salesmanship or recycled!

So I did an internet search for the obviously missing batteries, the only information I had to work with was the battery charger...

And a response!

Good Morning Chris!

That scooter runs on a 48 volt system. You will require 4 batteries. There are two that are very popular, but I think your's takes that 12v 20AH battery. Its very hard to tell from the pictures you sent though. Do you have the exsiting case? If you do that will tell me for sure what batteries go in as the two cases are totally different in shape and size! If it is indeed the 12V 20AH battery I do stock it. They sell for $80.72 each plus tax. If you need that pack rebuilt, and you need all new wires as well as the batteries and you'd like us to do that we charge $20.00 on top of the battery price.

As for testing the drive unit, I'd call and talk to the guys at Tuff City Powersports or Cooter Scooters....we only deal with batteries so I'm not sure what to do for you on that. I hope that helps you a bit with regards to your batteries. Thank you for your inquiry!
