I have a 2016 550, ive tryed the hisun website and seems i cant get parts there. I would like to add power steering, have seen a few "kits" on ebay

for the 750 not sure if its the same parts needed for the 550, there is a factory bracket already welded to the frame above the standard steering rack, is this to be used

to mount the eps motor? There is also a grey plug hanging just above the brake master cylinder, not sure if thats anything that needs to be used in the install.

Handy with wrenches so if i can find the parts installing it shouldnt be a problem, anyone done this upgrade, was it worth it?

Thanks for the info, i checked it out and all it is in his video is a quick pic of a eps motor he installed then he drives it up a trail saying its really nice to have.

Doesnt tell/show anything about the install.

I have a 2016 Sector 750 and it also has the welded bracket from the factory.  None of the kits I have found account for this as they all seem to include a metal bracket.  The bare minimum you will need are the Hisun EPS motor, Controller (and power), motor to rack coupler, and shorter steering column rod.  I do not know if all of the 2016 models have the EPS controller connector on the harness and the frame mounting points.  Mine does have them under the hood cowling as shown in some of the YouTube videos I have watched.  The kit below has everything needed but also includes the metal bracket that ours do not require.  I am not endorsing that seller or the product, just using it to illustrate the components needed.

But I reminded you there may be 12V DC power issues. I don't know about the sector 550. But the Axis 500 doesn't generate a lot of extra voltage. There may be power concerns adding any type of Electric Power Steering, OEM or junkyard. The electric power requirements has to be considered. There may be options to increase the electric output with a bigger stator and regulator. But that will take away some of the HP power from the 550 engine due to bigger stator. I know it won't be a lot. But these little engines don't produce a lot of HP anyway.

Good luck. And let us know how it goes.

FYI, For the 2016+ 750's Hisun has a "High output" stator and Magneto rotor available.  I actually swapped to these units myself.  I am also using an Odes Dominator High output regulator/rectifier as well.  I can have my headlights (high beam), 50" light bar, rear pod lights, in cab heater, Wideband O2, my other gauges (5 additional including razorback belt temp), rock lights, in cab lights (high output mirror light and one rock light for foot well) on and I drop from 14.2 ish V to 13.8V.  Considering the factory EPS 750's do not use the high output components to my knowledge, I would not be concerned.  If it does require more power, upgrade the stator, magneto rotor and regulator/rectifier.

So the eps motor would bolt up to that bracket? Do you have any pics of the install?

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Snow Blade for Coleman Outfitter 550?
      By Alien10
      I'm thinking of buying a snow blade for my Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun with Coleman stickers).
      Has anyone purchased a snow blade that can offer the make and model they bought and any comments, pros  cons etc.?
      Not 100% sure I'm going to buy, as the selection of blades for this model seems a bit thin on line. 
      Thoughts and comments welcomed.
      Thanks in advance.

      550 - Diff fluid change and final drive?
      By mcraigchr
      Howdy y'all,
      I have the service manual, but it leaves me with questions.
      1)  It is time to change the diff fluid.  The service manual says 80w-90 for the rear and Dextron 3 ATF for the front!  Is that correct?  That seems odd to me.
      2) The service manual also speaks of the need to change the transmission fluid but gives no detail about it.  What needs to happen here?
      3). The service manual also discusses changing the final drive fluid with 80-90 Hypoid.  Is the final drive actually the tranny?
      Any details about the changing of the fluid or what fluid to use ... or even other things that need to be changed that the manual does not mention would be appreciated.
      Thanks,
      Craig C.

      Coleman 550 Rear Differential Leak
      By Tejun
      Neighbor rode their Coleman with the park brake apparently not fully released. Needless to say, things got pretty hot and even started smoking and the smoke was definitely gear oil smell. Looks like oil is coming from the area just behind the disc for the park break. Looking at parts diagram, there is an oring behind the nut/washer that attaches the flange to pinion shaft. I'm not finding anything on YT that would help with disassembly. Anyone have some experience with removing rear driveshaft ?
