I have taken apart may lefty elo. lockout not working. Like many others.
There is still some life in the system though. I can hear a soft buzzz. every time i push the lockout button. I have the idea the gear box is stuck. I would like to know what kind of gear box it is? planetary maybe?
Took my elo apart, did some measuring and made a few new parts. Now its a mlo mechanical lockout. it locks by turning the new tophandle 90 degee. in the picture you can see the result. Test ride is comming up soon.
and
Found out may self that it is indeed a planatary gear. the e-motor is pressed in the gear.
The gear is OK but motor does not run. after lubricating it with wd40 I can rotate the motor but not swoothly. Thinking of converting it to manual control. But not still unsure how to make it.
