Re: Need Help Upgrading a scooter engine ......

One possible option might be to up the voltage to 36V, which will result in a higher top motor RPM (you may need to add fan-cooling that kicks on when the controller and motor get warm from the extra heat).

You can then install either a smaller spocket on the motor, a bigger sprocket on the wheel, or both. Your top speed would be about the same as it is now, but you would have more hill-climbing torque.

If your scooter uses the MY1020 series of motors, I "think" you can upgrade to a 1,000W motor...just some ideas to kick around.

They'll handle 36v. I'm putting a my1070 on a rad2go sunbird at 36v at first, then maybe 48v.

Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up.
