Small electric scooters and pocket bikes

:? Sure, it's probably simple to do, but I'd like to know how to easily wire my new 12v blower into my 36v system. If there is a diagram involved, please don't use electical symbols. I'd prefer good old names etc. Thanks for any help.

Any guesses as to how fast this would be on a Currie scooter with 36 volts or even at 48 volts ?? Would it even be better than a regular motor ?? Please let me know know your thoughts and guesses. I am guessing it would have pretty good torque but no top end speed, but that is my guess. God Bless :)

Anyone have this scooter / bike ?? Has any modded one to make it go faster ?? What motor does it have stock ??? Thanks for any info. God Bless :)

Hoping for some advice. My esr750-ex has recently been making a strange noise from its motor. While riding, it makes a noise on what I assume is on each revolution. It's almost like it's cogging, but other than the noise, I can't feel it struggling. Speed and acceleration seem normal.

There is no noise when it's just rolling, so it's definitely engine related.

Just wondering if there is something I can check to help avoid a dead motor at some stage...

Thanks,
Lachlan

:? Okay, I am in the process of doing some upgrades to our Rad2Go E-36 Great White scooter during the cold winter months. In addition to adding a battery level gauge and an ignition switch I started looking at the cheap little Jintong batteries that came with the scooter when I got it used off of eBay ($170 - killer deal).

Pretty interesting, looks to use the same motor as the Schwinn S1000 at 1000watts, uses a new 4 speed gearbox, claims to get 20-25 miles of range of course depending on conditions, rider weight, etc. Also has new (3) Panasonic LC-RA 1215PC1 12V / 15AH Valve regulated, exceptional deep discharge recovery rechargeable. I am thinking if it can get 1/2 that range and still climb hills and have a decent top speed with the new 4 speed gearbox, it would be nice machine to mod to 48volts and even brushless !!! Enjoy !!! God Bless :)

hi all this is my fist post at the voltage forums, i used to always visit the old site before some punk hacked it. the old site looked far more professional but who can complain (its not like we pay for this) so thanks ken or who ever pays for this site. ok what i want to find out is where can i get an axial blower like lots of people here have such as 24v 10w or even a 12v one thats still 10w any help would be greatly apriciated as i cant find what i need.

I was just at a meeting on the Google campus (FWIW, I live in Mountain View about 1.5 miles from the Googleplex) and was surprised to see something there I hadn't seen on my other visits to their campus. Just off the lobby of the building I went into they had a collection of standup scooters, BladeZ's and Currie's. The person escorting me in said "Oh, that's a Google thing ... they use these to zip around campus".

The Googleplex is a bit large and does span across Charleston Rd.

I am looking at a DUAL MOTOR SETUP for a Currie scooter. Which one would be more faster and have more torque, running at 36 volts ?? 48 Volts ??

1. Dual motor setup with 2 of the POWERPACK brushless motors and single controller.

2. Dual motor setup with 2 of the new 1000watt schwinn motors and upgraded controler.

What kind of speeds are we estimating to get with these setups ?? Thanks for any info and opinions.

If one was modding a small scooter, which motor would be better ??

1. 24 volt motor rated at 3500rpm / 35amps
2. 36 volt motor rated at 3500rpm/ 35amps
3. 48 volt motor rated at 3500rpm/ 35amps

Everything else being equal, which one would be better for top speed ?? How about range ??

I know that more current will give you more or faster acceleration, and more voltage will give top speed. What if the the rated RPM is the same ?? Will one motor be faster than the other ??
