Tja Jonas!

Too late, jag har bestællt min Pelagian før 3 veckor sen ;)) Den kommer i slutet av mars och jag ska gå en kurs på den før Roger i Maj. Sen blir det minst ett år med grundare dykning innan jag vågar mig djupare!

Fan va kul, då ær det fler och fler som går øver till den mørka sidan ;) Men du var ju lite otippad! Nu måste vi få till den dær turen till Kristiansand nån gång till sommaren....

Mmm...vi får se...Jag vill ha en Orouboro i så fall (och dom är ju inte precis gratis) och sen ligger både en grottkurs och en scooter före i "pipen".

Ha det bra!

Hej Igen Johan. Det verkar som du gjort ett bra val läs nedan:

I still have my Gavin. Still trying to find a new home for it without having to resort to auction block of Ebay. Cris and I are in the process of replacing our two Gavins with ADV-14s. The transportion of a 19Kg scooter is very different than a 37Kg scooter. This is one of the reasons for the switch.

The Gavin is a solid scooter built on the foundation of the Tekna/Mako scooter. I know from using my Gavin, I have great number of enjoyable dives in caves, on wrecks just cruising in open water. Instead of a direct Gavin to Zeuxo comparison, how about all scooters that are built from Mako motors and systems.

One I thought the Tekna DV-3X handle was perfect. It had the right angle and shape. Was comfortable hold. With the Mako handle I have never found a really great grip. Either my wrist is twisted to hold on to the trigger with my index finger or I would have to spread my index and middle finger apart to pitch the handle and trigger between the two. The handle on the Zeuxo has that natural feel and is easy to use one or two fingers to keep the trigger depressed.

I am less than impressed with the variable prop of the Mako design. Between having to stop to adjust pitch setting. Dealing with sticky yoke & screw, making hard to adjust. Thin, hollow stemmed blades that need metal pins for added strength. A mechanical clutch, that once slipped either needs to be replaced or use a dot of super glue to hold the two parts together. Placing you motor at great jeopardy.

The prop on the Zeuxo is fixed. The blades and hub and solidly fastened together. I have not tried it, but I imagine you could throw one of these props around like a ninjas star all day with out busting it. That would be really wicked with some of the experimental 5 and 7 bladed props I have seen on the test scooters and work bench at SUEX. The clutch is super simple and works. I got the tow cord stuck in the prop monday night. I heard it slip a couple of times and got off the trigger. Pulled the cord out and went back to having a good old time!

The Mako motor is a specific winding and design to achieve the correct amount of torque and RPMs. There are a total of 8 brushes held inside of a holders soldered to a circuit board. Getting a really good Tekna motor was a craps shot. Mako motors are kind plan jane and lack the power to really make you smile. The rewinds that you find in a Gavin or SS are nice. They all have a problem that one of the eight brushes can get hung up, causing more current to travel through the remaining brushes in contact with the winding. They can over head the board and cause the solid to melt or burn the board. That is pretty nasty.

In talking with Marco the engineer about the motor and brushes in the Zuexo motor. He showed me the brushes and brush holders. I think it is a much better system than a Mako brush board. Also he told me, if one of the brushes get hung up and is not in contact with the windings. The scooter is just not going to run right. You will know and not use it. Then have to find the issue causing a problem. Instead of riding the horse right into the ground. Then there is enough power to put a big grin on your face. With 22Kg of thrust out of the ADV-14 and 26Kg out of the ADV-15 and up. The horses have the power to pull a load.

Then the trigger. Inside the Mako and Tekna handles there is a system of pulleys and cable to transfer the trigger movement to a magnet and activate a reed switch. These systems can be a nightmare. That is why you want direct access to the magnet. So if needed you can grab it with you hand and turn it on or off.

With the Zeuxo there is no cable or pulley system. Just a solid, spring loaded linkage the moves a push rod. On the end of the rod is a bit of steel to activate the scooter. For some reason the trigger did not work, you can just grab the push rod.

The need for trigger pins or locks. I have always been worried leaving my Gavin just sitting in a cave. Mainly because I thought another diver my fly off with it while diving at Ginnie Springs. Also because the magnet could get bumped on. A pin or thumb screw would not stop the magnet wheel from turning. This why the after market clutches are nice because you can slip them and take the blade to a dead stall.

With the Zeuxo, just twist the "on/off" knob about a half turn and you have separated the silver contacts. The scooter is OFF! The electronics are not drawing power, if the low voltage alarm is sounding, it goes quite. So you can deactivate the scooter for transport, cache, or in the event of a problem.

Those are the items I like over the Mako systems. There are a bunch of other features that make the Zeuxo simple to control and use. The external speed control is a dream come true for me. With my buddies back in Michigan, we have talked about having a tow behind with the speed control like that of a AUL Predator. With the Zuexo it is simple to set a optimal speed and match you buddy. Then if you need to cover ground quickly, just goto 100% power. That is simple as pulling the trigger all the way back on the ADV-15 series and up. Or just turning the control all the way counter-clockwise with the ADV-14. As there is only one trigger setting in the 14, but two in all the other Zeuxo scooters. One always 100% power. The other what ever the speed control is set. The switch between the two is just a finger movement.

Man, marathon type sessions!! I don''''t know how to express how cool these machines are with fewer words. I have not even gotten started telling how sexy these Italian, beautiful scooter really are. They are just SEXY!!!! I have seen they are replacing the external yellow and black warning stickers with clear and white. They have a stack of new black "ZEUXO" stickers to use instead of the white. The all the internal battery frames are being coated black, instead of bare aluminum. Just make these machine even better looking. SEXY SEXY SEXY!! They are my new girlfriends! I hope Cris does not read this.

Cheers Y''''all!!!

Kevin

PS, For the competition in the market place. SUEX has been building scooters for years. Since 1999 if I recall correct. So they have been here already for a while.

Hej Jonas, har du en italiens Scooter och isåfall hur ligger priset?

Har den fördelar vad gäller axeltätning för propellern eller är batterierna separat inkapslade.

Mvh. Fredrik Astlid

Borde vara... men jag har ju flyttat hem från Norrköping och i och med att jag bytte inriktning (till media i Täby) så var jag tyvärr tvungen att gå om tvåan - trots att jag pluggade in hundratals poäng i somras. Det ger mig i och för sig lite längre tid att tänka på vad jag vill göra med mitt liv. Jämnåriga börjar få ångest.
Har precis köpt ett dubbelpaket och hoppas på att kunna slita det med hälsan! ...eller nåt.
Ett dyk tillsammans snart kanske? :)

Tror att det var för kallt i vattnet...så minnet sviker jag har fan glömt...kan det ha något att göra med ditt båtköp att göra? Varför inte en inombordare diesel?
