[img]Hello, I decided to sell the scooter and all the parts. I recently bought a house and I do not have the time to finish the project. Setup drives but should be finetuned. Accelerating hard is an issue. Setup now: Sk3 6065 motor 1x 5s 8aH battery zippy 2x 2s 8aH battery zippy 1x 3s 8aH...

hi, looks nice! How are you going to install the motor? About fixing the sprocket to the wheel: I would lasercut a circular part that you can use to center your sprocket together with the center of your wheel and then work with spacers on the flat parts in the spokes of the decathlon wheel...

Hi, the setup seemed to work better on 6s than 5s batteries. therefore i tried with an alien 8s esc and 8s batteries and with another gear ratio. this gave similar topspeed but much much better acceleration before loosing sync. now it only looses sync when you ask for really high accelerations...

Hi, To me its strange that you get this kind of acceleration with your current setup. I'm using a sk3 6364 213kv motor and 19/90 gear ratio and on 6s with a hk 150 esc it looses sync quite fast when i'm not gentle enough on the throttle. On 8s with an alien esc its better but still I have to...

I'm driving around now with the scooter but it seems that the motor cannot deliver enough torque to accelerate. When driving at low speeds and accelerating suddenly the motor 'screeches' and does not deliver any power to the wheel anymore... I thought this would be that I'm asking to much...

Hi, Any more news? (sorry for the impatience :P ) Regards

Vedder, Nice job! It is really awesome how you're making the esc, documenting everything and especially sharing everything. thank you for that. I'm really waiting for this esc to become available!

Hi, Jeah here in Belgium you need an insurance if you go faster than 12km/hr with a motor. Also your vehicle needs to have a unique chassis number etc. When you go faster than 25km/hr you need a helmet and driving license. Guess I'll be driving around illegal... Just received the bended...

Hi, I'm using a hall thumb throttle: to translate the 1-4V that come out of the hall throttle I bought an arduino nano and programmed it. This was very easy I must say. I have no experience whatsoever with programming but just opened some of the examples and adapted them to my needs. I'm...

Just got some of the mechanical parts! The 90T 5m sprocket turned out quite good. Just waiting for 3 more parts to be bended and welded together. Also made a functional hall throttle to esc signal convertor with an arduino nano. Even made a calibration procedure to really use the min and max...

Hi, I haven't been able to actually mount everything yet because I'm waiting for my recently ordered solder suction tool... I'm hoping the 150A HK esc I'm using can be programmed to "listen" to the signal the servo tester will send. If not I'll maybe use an arduino nano to translate the 1-4V...

Hi, A question, to start talking back about the cells :) I would like to make a 5S5P battery pack with or the VTC5 cells or the 25R cells. If I do not want to balance charge regularly, should I go for the 25R or VTC5? I would bulk charge about 50 times and then balance them once... Please...

hi beto, I meant that I'll also use a similar thumb throttle. I'll use it together with a servo tester as described in http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=12196&p=873024&hilit=+throttle+tester+thumb+servo#p873024

I'll be using also a thumb throttle like this. Anyody an idea about the spring? I'm taking it to work and will put it under our press and just measure the spring constant myself. My guess now is that the 900lbs/inch is the spring and the red rubber part together...

I just sent all my dxf's to a lasercutter. Now I'm looking for a new spring for my longer wheel -fork, and I'm lost... The old one is about 135mm long and the new about 206mm. So the spring should be about 206/135 times stronger. That is about 1.53 times. On the spring I find the text...
