Do any of you out there find the Sector E1 seats  very uncomfortable? I get a sore neck after driving a short time. It seems the back is too upright.  It needs to be set back on an angle a  little. Any ideas ?

Hello, I just purchased an E1 last month and the seat situation was the first thing I had to resolve.  It was giving me pain in my lower back.  Here is what I did to resolve it.  There are four brackets that hold the seat back to the frame bar.  Take out the bottom screws and loosen the top screws about half way out.  Go to the lumber yard or Lowes and buy a 2X2 8 ft. long.  Cut the 2x2 to 50".  Now slide the 2x2 between the back seat and the frame.  Put one of the flat sides against the seat so there is not a square edge creating a pressure point against the back plastic which could cause it to crack.  Adjust the 2x2 so an equal amount sticks out both sides.  Now put the lower screws back in and tighten them until they are snug, but not to where they start to bend the bracket.  Tighten the upper screws back down snug as well.  This will give you a comfortable seat back angle.  It is now about the same as my Polaris ranger which I have been happy with.  I painted my brace black so it would not look too out of place, but that is up to you.  The only down side to this fix is it pushes the bottom of the seat back forward a couple inches so you loose some of the leg clearance which was minimal to start with.  I banged my knee a couple of times on the cup holder till I got used to it.  Hope this works for you.

      Greetings All,
      I'm looking for the most effective way to quiet the noise inside the cab. The cab virtually sits atop the 24hp diesel engine. It's very loud and so I'm looking for ways to make inside the cab quieter.

      I am going to replace the batteries in my E1. I am not interested in the high cost Lithium or the expensive 6 volt dry batteries.  I am considering four 12 volt deep charge marine batteries. I have a source for 810 amp units for about $100 each.  I have no worries about reprograming the charger because it went out a few years ago and I replaced it with generic golf cart charger. When I decide to do this, I'll keep you posted on the results.

      Hi
      I have a 2022 hisun sector eps 550. 30amp fuse is blown for eps. Checked the motor and it’s fine. Opened up the controller and found a bad diode. Dealer wanted 500$ for the controller. Just posting this in case it helps someone. I couldn’t read numbers from the old one so just took a guess and replaced it with a 100v 3amp diode.

      I had to remove the relay for the dump bed due to it popping the fuse for main key power. I have tried to find a short but nothing seems to out of normal. I also disconnected the dump motor and switch and still pops the fuse. Also, when the machine is warmed up i get about 5 to 10 of work out of before it stalls. Once I can get it to start again I have to use the choke to keep it running.

      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!
