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.

      I recently purchased a 2024 Hisun 550 Sector from Kreps Service Station and am having issues with the gear selector, I am doing as instructed in the owners manual but the shifter acts like it is binding or the button lock isn't releasing, the shifter will not move, I have to wiggle it back and forth while pushing hard on the brake and if it's in park or reverse it's nearly impossible to get it to move, I contacted Justin Krep and he says this is normal with these machines, I find that hard to believe, I've owned many utvs and side x sides and have never had this kind of issue with any of them, any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

      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.

      the regen braking on my e1 has stopped working unless (for eg) I am going down a hill in low and it's slowing things down to stick to the 10kph limit. when I drive and take my foot off the accelerator it's not initiating the regen to slow things down and instead just coasts at whatever speed it is at, or speeds up as the regen is not limiting it. the brake lights work, so it's probably not a fault with the sensor on the brake pedal
       
      hoping someone else might be able to provide some suggestions on things to check, as the mob that I bought it off seem to have gone silent on me

      We recently purchased the Axis x550. Fueled it with 93 fuel and drove one time around the farm and the 02 fault error appeared. Any ideas?

      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!
