1800 miles on the 2020 Brozz 250 - Page 2

gwowzer · 07-05-2020, 07:54 PM

I'm getting closer and closer to the 3000 mile review I am planning. Racked up 200 miles between today and yesterday. I want to get it to 3000 before I give a bunch of input, but so far, loving it.
Part of the reason I want to go to 3000 first is to aslo be able to give input on modifications and if they were worth it or not.

Thanks for the update on the Brozz. I noticed my battery died too and I heard about the remote start/alarm draining the battery. Where did you find your battery? I'm having a hard time finding one online.
Thanks!

Both, my off road is mainly dirt road. Just better grip on rear under braking. The Shinkos have pretty sturdy feeling sidewall compared to what I replaced them with.

Walmart is a good choice. I just bought a AGM 8ah battery there for $24.99 with free delivery.

Push button on handles. Works great. Haven’t had a problem starting her yet. Just passed 5555 on the odometer.

My tires did ok. Not too much trail riding, just a few field days and the occasional journey off road when the mood strikes. I got about 4400 miles on the originals without a problem. I did four 700+mile round trips between Charleston,SC and Greensboro,NC on backroads and highways. No interstates, tried staying below 50 for most of trip. Had a few water crossings from roads being washed out and lots of sand and gravel roads. Sand was sketchy, gravel more fun and stable. Had front go low and after a few inflations, flat and replaced tube. This was November and temp just starting to drop. Front kept going flat, nothing in tire, two more tubes lasted a day. Wheel seemed fine, but a bump developed and wheel went untrue. Never found a dead spoke when checking. Replaced wheel, tire and tube. In full disclosure, I did bounce the bike off the road doing 40ish. Me and the bike did go over that front wheel and bounced through the grass a little past the 4000 mile mark. When I did repairs after the wreck, I checked wheel with the forks and my eye like I do on my pedal bike. Nothing was off and never had a spoke that was completely loose, just a few needing slight snugging up to ring true. I’m just past 5555 now and I am needing to replace the rear tire. Pretty worn and starting to slip on grass when soaked from rain.

Got mine at Walmart. It was on shelf and matched all the needed specs. Apologies, but it was so long ago I don’t remember if it was good to go or if I needed to charge it first.

If there isnt i can just wire one up but i am hoping there is one on the bars . I have my name on the list for August to get a Brozz 250 in Blue ,they are all sold out now

but i am ordering parts now to have them all here ready to go for when they come in , in August .

Yes, there is a start button on the right hand controls. So removing the remote start is not an issue.
