Quazar Scooter

Whoa, it DOES look really similar. :^O

EVERYTHING can be overvolted if you know how. }:)

I've had a quazar for a couple of years.. i upped it to 48v, put a disc brake on the rear, & put in all 12ah batteries. I made a holder for the 4th battery, & put it between a rack. I also mounted the controller on the fender under the seat.

It definitely increased the power & top speed.. The range also.. The frame is really cheap. A weld broke on the front where fork meets the frame. I don't have any aluminum welding access, so i bolted a bracket, & re-inforced it with an airline clamp.

I can easily ride in the hills around here.. with about a 7 mile working range.. full speed most of the time. I keep the batteries charged with a soniel 12v charger (a bit of a pain to charge each one), & will go for months without riding it, then ride it several times a week. I put a rack on it, with a bike bag & can carry quite a bit of stuff. I'm 160#, & it has handled my weight, except for the front weld.

I am under the impression this is a lashout clone.. i also like the belt drive.. quiet, easy to adjust. I got mine on ebay for about $150 shipped, so not a lot invested.

I think if i beefed up the frame weld, it would be fine. The motor does get hot when riding full speed very long, especially in the summer.

overvolted, i can get it up to 15-20. it can easily run little 5-6 mile errands. When i ride it to work, i bring a 12v charger (a soniel) & try to charge each cell a little, just to extend the battery life a bit.

LiOn batts would be great with this scoot. Mine feels a little heavy with the 4 12/12's. It came stock with 12/7's, i think.

I've noticed the controller getting a little hot, but not nearly as hot as the motor after a 2-3 mile ride. You can leave your hand on the controller, but not on the motor.

I had some early trouble with bearings.. had to tweak the axle & spacers a bit, & buy some new bearings. But it runs good, now. I just keep the air up in the tires, keep the batteries charged, & go!

How many amps does this thing draw? Can't be much more than ten if you're discharging through the DeWalt BMS. Might want to get some lithium from Ping after the Olympics. A 10Ah pack could last well over an hour.

I know I'm digging up an old thread but I have a question. My friend has the same scooter with power that lasts a short time. After new batteries and a new charger it still has the same problem. We think the motor is siezing after it gets warm. Should we disassemble the motor to check it or does anyone have suggestions? If it should be replaced are there up grades to these belt drive motors?

I am also interested in any info on modding and making the Quazar scooter faster. I already got a "big Kuhuana" battery which is a single unit 36V unit. I think the AH went up from 7ah, to 10ah.

You can get most of the parts for this scooter from Todays High Tech sccoter pts. I however am interested in overvolting, etc. Right now the scooter will go approx 17mph on my GPS and has a range of about 8 miles. Would sure be nice to have some Lion batteries with a little higher voltage output.

Anyone know where I can get a charger for a Quazar scooter?

Did you ever get this issue resolved? Mine is doing the same thing. It won't run with a load on it, like me sitting on it. But it runs fine if I lift up the back tire. I was told to get the stock batteries load tested but I haven't been able to find a place that can do it.

Thanks

Where did you get a replacement controller? If not the original, how did you wire it up?
