Hello DIY,
After monitoring the forums for years, and getting a lot of inspiration, I finally get to contribute!
I picked up a junk razor dune buggy for $30 off Craigslist about 6 months ago and have been slowly working on it since then. My goal was to maintain the stock appearance, keep all the chain guards, switch to pedal throttle and brake controls, change the wheels, and upgrade to 48v.
To accomplish this, I modified the frame to accept a custom underfloor mount battery box and installed a custom 48v headway 38120 battery pack with an 80 amp BMS. Added a mounting plate behind the seat to mount the BMS, and throttle to keep them out of sight. I then installed a 48v brushless motor and controller. For the motor, I made a custom adapter plate to maintain the factory chain tensioner. I also made custom brake and throttle pedals. Lastly I used razor e300 scooter wheels with custom hubs.
There were many more small modifications that went into this, and in the end, I am really happy with the fit and finish . I think I met my initial design goals, let me know what you guys think.
