Vehicle	Scoot MK1 My first scratch built ev.
Motor	Unite Motor MY 1020 Permanent Magnet DC seems pretty good.
Drivetrain	direct chain drive to wheel
Controller	Yi Yun 48v 1000w cheap, only gives 90% throttle, but works ok.
Batteries	4 DiaMec 7.2Ah, 12.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, AGM specs weren't real good but at $20 each I thought they were worth a try. They did the job ok.
System Voltage	48 Volts
Charger	unknown 48v 2.5A
Instrumentation	green light when on
Top Speed	20 MPH (32 KPH) went exactly as calculated. 33km/h.
Acceleration	Pretty good. Heaps better than the electric scooter I bought.
Range	7 Miles (11 Kilometers) better than expected. I think the controller is holding the motor back a bit which helps the range.
Seating Capacity	1. Ok I have had 2 on it but its kind of asking for trouble.
Curb Weight	54 Pounds (24 Kilograms) Tube frame worked out good. light and rigid.
Tires	round, black, 12.5in x 2.25 in
pretty happy with my first scratch built attempt. I don't know why people struggle with hacking up existing frames etc. way easier to start from scratch and design around your batteries etc.
