Updated 8 years on

 8 years on and 40,000 km travelled.

The motor remains strong though I have had to modify the coupling between gear box and motor after about 30,000 km.

Essentially, the Lovejoy coupling wore away and gave up. I replaced this with a cut down clutch plate

This is the worn out segment on the motor and gearbox (below).

Since then the DC/DC converter also gave up. The original was from USA and was a RV compromise.

 I have now replaced this with a Chennic DC-DC converter with no issues. However allied to this I have also updated the 12v battery . I previosuly had a AGM battery which proved to be a mistake. as it cant take over charging. Now back to  "normal" rideon mower battery and have had no issues in 2 years with that.

Lastly the main battery charger also gave up. Originnaly this was a TC Charger 144v from 240v AC. 8 Amp out.

This charger is no longer available and coincidentally another EV constructor locally to me, who had similar 144v setup, his TC charger similarly after 8 years broke down, though he has had his repaired. I opted to purchase a replacement from EVCOMPONENTS in China and resisted overtures for options to my selected ELCON Charger - Charge Enabled. This took some 4 months to be delivered but works excellently.
