that suggests a charger problem, let me contact you via email.

Hi, does it turn on and ride yet ?

Since it is the ignition switch it is protected from tampering for obvious reasons. To test it you would need access to the Motor Controller. In case you have access to it I could describe which two pins should be connected on one of the connectors which is equivalent of turning the ignition switch on.

For the "Quelli del Vectrix" WhatsApp group please drop me an email (me@mecano.hu) and I will reply with the contacts. I prefer not to share their numbers here.

Replacing the ignition switch is not easy (it is even protected by special screws those need to be drilled) so only recommended if you are certain it is faulty. Do you know the Italian Vectrix community on WhatsApp ?

They are small black Philips screws between the ribs of the black decals.

Hi,

  Have you managed to get the missing details, or do you need them yet ?

Update

Battery ready 36S28P, road tested, 80 Ah, 500A nominal

Custom BMS ready - idle balancing algo - road tested including public Type2 charging 

CAN bus programming for BMS in progress - spoofing stock BMS for cell voltages and temperatures

2 sport windshields installed

Elcon TC 3.3kW charger purchased

Yes, this looks good because it shows a few things :

> The 12V power supply on the motor controller is working, this also means the fuses for basic functions are ok.

> The motor controller processor is working since it sends the odometer value over the CAN bus

> Basic functions on the ICM (interface controller, small metal bok above the front lamp) and the display are good as well since they receive the mileage value and display it correctly. Overall the CAN bus should work in the scooter.

The charger is not needed for the VX-1 to work, it has only roles when charging and calculating battery charge level.

As the next step you may wish to check if the ignition switch itself is ok. There are two ways to do it (1) by removing the plastic covers around the switch or (2) by removing the perforated metal cover from the motor controller to have access to the two wires.

Right at the red marking, two adjacent pins (pins 1-3 and 2-4 are identical) so for example connect 1 and 2. This should enable the 12V power supply for the ICM and the display. It is safe to do it, I used it myself. You may also need to check the large white Littelfuse fuse at the BATT+ terminal.

You may need to remove the perforated metal cover to have a better view and see that connector.(by disconnecting the battery terminals first then the other cables. Needless to say when the battery voltage is reconnected you need a light bulb to balance the voltages between the pack and the MC (supercapacitors). The 4 pin connector will be at the bottom left of the MC based on your picture. You can also check the 150 (or 200 A) fuse at the + battery terminal.
