I have a 2016 550, ive tryed the hisun website and seems i cant get parts there. I would like to add power steering, have seen a few "kits" on ebay

for the 750 not sure if its the same parts needed for the 550, there is a factory bracket already welded to the frame above the standard steering rack, is this to be used

to mount the eps motor? There is also a grey plug hanging just above the brake master cylinder, not sure if thats anything that needs to be used in the install.

Handy with wrenches so if i can find the parts installing it shouldnt be a problem, anyone done this upgrade, was it worth it?

Thanks for the info, i checked it out and all it is in his video is a quick pic of a eps motor he installed then he drives it up a trail saying its really nice to have.

Doesnt tell/show anything about the install.

I have a 2016 Sector 750 and it also has the welded bracket from the factory.  None of the kits I have found account for this as they all seem to include a metal bracket.  The bare minimum you will need are the Hisun EPS motor, Controller (and power), motor to rack coupler, and shorter steering column rod.  I do not know if all of the 2016 models have the EPS controller connector on the harness and the frame mounting points.  Mine does have them under the hood cowling as shown in some of the YouTube videos I have watched.  The kit below has everything needed but also includes the metal bracket that ours do not require.  I am not endorsing that seller or the product, just using it to illustrate the components needed.

But I reminded you there may be 12V DC power issues. I don't know about the sector 550. But the Axis 500 doesn't generate a lot of extra voltage. There may be power concerns adding any type of Electric Power Steering, OEM or junkyard. The electric power requirements has to be considered. There may be options to increase the electric output with a bigger stator and regulator. But that will take away some of the HP power from the 550 engine due to bigger stator. I know it won't be a lot. But these little engines don't produce a lot of HP anyway.

Good luck. And let us know how it goes.

FYI, For the 2016+ 750's Hisun has a "High output" stator and Magneto rotor available.  I actually swapped to these units myself.  I am also using an Odes Dominator High output regulator/rectifier as well.  I can have my headlights (high beam), 50" light bar, rear pod lights, in cab heater, Wideband O2, my other gauges (5 additional including razorback belt temp), rock lights, in cab lights (high output mirror light and one rock light for foot well) on and I drop from 14.2 ish V to 13.8V.  Considering the factory EPS 750's do not use the high output components to my knowledge, I would not be concerned.  If it does require more power, upgrade the stator, magneto rotor and regulator/rectifier.

So the eps motor would bolt up to that bracket? Do you have any pics of the install?

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      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!

      Is Your HISUN Loud?
      By HISUN Sector 750 EPS Failu
      "Mrs. Smith" doesn't like how loud our Sector 750 is.  On a HISUN forum someone said the same thing about his 750.  I haven't given it much thought because I've been more focused on stuff that has broken.
      So, I used my decibel meter to check ours out.  4000 RPM, Low gear, under 20 MPH . . . . 97 decibels.  That's above most ordinances, even state boat noise limits.
      AI Overview Ninety-seven (97) decibels is considered very loud and dangerous to hearing with prolonged exposure, roughly equivalent to a newspaper press, a loud nightclub, or a snowmobile. At this level, damage can occur after just 30 minutes, necessitating hearing protection

      Best place to find info on Hisun or Massimo UTV's
      By Eman85
      I have been searching and can't find much info on these units. Pretty surprising as every other thing I own I find a lot of info on. Researching for tech info and such it's like no one owns any of these yet I see them everywhere.

      Hoping someone out there somewhere can help.....2019 Massimo Buck 400S
      By AaronD1982
      Onto the next problem, everything has been replaced in the charging system except the Flywheel Rotor, I have it torn apart all the way down to said rotor, but it is suggested that a specific puller is required, and a compatible rotor seems virtually impossible to find.  I can find many like it, but this one is mine scenario for those that get the reference.  For all I know I have the last Massimo Buck 400S on the planet and will never find another part again, but who knows.  Any ideas, help or otherwise that anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
