Location | Winston , North Carolina United States map |
Vehicle | Scooter |
Motor | Brushless DC 400kv EMP brushless airplane motor with 8mm shaft |
Drivetrain | chain drive: 9 tooth to 80 tooth sprocket |
Controller | skywing 100 amp esc with cpu cooler |
Batteries | 0.00 Volt, I run 14.8v 2600mah lipos primarily and use two 12v 12ah scooter batteries for speed. |
System Voltage | 12 Volts |
Charger | RipMax pro-peak |
Top Speed | 25 MPH (40 KPH) 25 with 24v, 17 with 14.8v. |
Acceleration | brisk on 14.8v, somewhat scary on 24v |
Range | not too good at full throttle |
Seating Capacity | 2 adults |
Curb Weight | 35 Pounds (15 Kilograms) with the lipos |
Tires | pocket rocket tires |
Conversion Time | 12 hrs |
Conversion Cost | steel- $25 motor/esc- $32 lipos- $24 other-$20 |
Additional Features | Motor and esc both require active cooling so a cpu cooler was put on the esc and an old hairdryer fan cools the motor. Cooling is a must for these little brushless systems to last. Using hall effect scooter throttle and a servo tester as the throttle system. |
I plan to continually upgrade it until it looks and performs like a marketable product, but money can make the process slow. |
