i have just been looking on the blogs about these scooters and there are three
.pictures one black and one red and on blue. its on one of the latest threds .you can blow these scooters up nise and big and when looking closley at the red one .
as the controler hanges /think its riveted left rear well if you look closley at the bottom of controler where all the wires come down from scooter but water could travel along the wire on the inside .and could travel.
inside the wire to the controler

i have been wondering when the scooter runs out of charge.
if i managed to fit a magnetic motor wi the most powerfull magnets in button size glued on in the boot just have too give it a push the wheel in the boot it would start to spin faster and faster .
wondering what sort of power it would produce .? wonder if its enough to charge the vectrix.????
and probbley have to fit small invertor 2kw would it work
but a tiny one and mabe have small motor as a slave start on it.
you see them on youtube .let me no what you think .kev

had vectrix back from dealer as had few issues needed sorting out. one being software upgrade that was meant to look after the batteries .i didnt now that they was going to change the time delay in the software from the standard 15 seconds .......... to 20 seconds this is totally ludicrous in my mind.
no to mention dangerous .if you was going to try this out you would no how dangerous it is .!!!
what is the point 20 seconds buy witch time a car /truck has pulled out in front of you smash...

well i have come up with an great idea and dont now why any body hasn't thought of it before?????????????????
well i did it on youtube just type in otleyshev68 well i got half way there well what uou need is a lot of small flexy solar panels about 50 + smallish
and scooter change origanil vectrix battries to lithiom ion cells but few spair back up as i did and need to cut sections in the scooter like shark gills and heat them up and angel them so to direct the

OK, here it goes.

I have a Diggler mountain scooter and a large electric motor (told it was a showscan projector motor). My goal is to build a daily commuter to get to and from work (been a fantasy of mine for 5 yrs, now I want to make it a reality). I ran into a guy who was riding one about 17 miles to work (SF bay area). Anywho, I stopped the guy and he said his friend put together a kit for $700 and he said he could go 40mph and could travel 20-25 miles between charge, this scooter had a hub motor and is way out of my price range. I've spent $100 so far for the scooter and the motor was free, quality parts are important but would really like to keep the costs down as much as poss. I checked online for any hub motors but no luck.

Questions that I have:
1. does this sound like it can be done using the motor that I currently have?
2. due to me not currently having a hub motor and this being a scooter means no rear sprocket, does this mean I have to go with a direct drive spindle system to use this motor? The stock wheel axles are a bit narrower then a standard bmx rear wheel so it doesn't fit between the drop outs, I might be able to widen the rear drop outs somehow but don't want to damage the frame integrity.

Pics of the bike and the motor are at the bottom of this string (motor is just placed on the deck for reference).

Diggler dimentions:
20" BMX wheels with no rear sprocket or freewheel (which I will put road tires on)
front shocks with 2" travel
have v brakes f/r (will get disk brakes cause it will travel 30-40 mph)
I'll go the the electronics store down the street to confirm what the motor draws but here are the motor details on the casing itself:

AMETEK DYNAMICS DIV
P/N 0842-11 SN-001
D.C. VOLTS 28

The motor dimensions are:
L= 4 1/2" (including 4 hole flange)
Diameter of casing= 4 1/8"
4 x bolt holes are 3 3/8" apart from each other
Shaft is 6" long (end to end) and
the motor has one black lead (17 1/2") and one white lead (15 1/2")

I'm having a hard time finding any info at all on this motor but am going to continue looking, if anyone know anything about this motor please let me know.

I found a couple examples of DIY electric digglers which have links included in this string. Whenever anyone has some time please help point me in the right direction, whether it be good books to read on building your own e-scooter or someone who wouldn't mind chatting on the phone. Anything would help since I'm not the best with figuring out electricity (volts, Amps and anything related to electric vehicles).

Thanks
