Bud, I am starting to wonder if South African E-Scooters are not the same at all compared to others on the globe. The Lithium pack I built boosted the performance a lot on my scooter :) Even when I used 36V on my 24V controller it performed much better :)

It is a road bike :D And I am 60Kg For sure the controller will do more than 1440W burst :D I like the cowdung part hahahaha :p What I mend by years is that the factory specs are there for longevity and not max power.

If a manufacturer claims 1Kw then rule of thumb is 2Kw with not to much loss, but at 3x 4x the losses stat to get high. At factory specs a motor will last 10+years No it was not rewound :) And there are a lot. Well I get almost 60Km/h with the "320W" MY1016 :D I am not trying to be wise or...

Hey guys. Thanks for the replies! I noticed when it pulls strong it smokes a little witch is normal and as soon as it hits the splutter it smokes twice as much. The carburetor seems to be a 10mm one Yes the overall quality is no QC Chinese build :/ One problem that I should state also is that...

Where did the information come from for overvolting a motor? Using a 36V motor on 48V will only lose a few % on efficiency. I am running a 24V motor at 45V+ no problems with efficiency and more than double rated power. I am using a 36V 40A controller on it :) You will see people on...

Put some 8s Lipo in it and you will be amazed how performance changes :thumbsup:

Hi members. I have this little mini scooter thing. As soon as it feels like it wants to go fast it starts to splutter :( Think it does around 25km/h The engine looks to be factory modified from a "weed eater"

Yeah, think twice when not buying from HK! And their prices are like only 10-20% more on these type of items

Thanks for the info :) But that is 3min 80ah and 2min 120ah Anyway I am waiting for a price on these :D http://skyhobby.en.alibaba.com/product/335318517-212908119/Tmetic10000mAh_22_2v_5C_lipo_battery.html eight of them should be good for a tire smoker :p

What about big stepper motors? Those things are not scared of 200nm... The battery cost for this would be a bit of a problem I would say :(

174W = 15km/h for an hour!!! Insane!! If you do 3+3 for 66V and 8ah then you are in business with a really small amount of batteries! How big are these batteries? Will 6 of them size up to one car battery in physical size? Imagine 20 of these batteries! :surrender: You have something special...

You will have theoretical 123A draw yes. But that is at full load. Heat, efficiency all play a role. If you could drive it for 20min at 123A load then you must be a happy person :) Sitting in a cart for more than 20min is not nice on your body :p And make your own controller! :D There are some...

I would say you want something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/24v-CA45-Truck-Starter-Motor-Leyland-ERF-Foden-/290779671470?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CommercialVehicleParts_SM&hash=item43b3d1abae&_uhb=1#ht_500wt_1203

Sounds awesome to me! But you will need to invest in good batteries like golf cart ones. And get cooling of some sort for the motor :) And if you run it at 36v it will not heat up that much but you will also not get its peak power.

I don't really want to soil the other good threads :D I would like to build my own frame :) And I hope I don't fade away! Just need time and money as we all do :p
