    Throttle cut out wire

    So my throttle has red black and green wires. There is a switch on the brake lever I’ve obtained so that if the lever is pulled, the wire breaks the circuit and throttle is released. My question is, which wire on the throttle should I wire the brake switch in to? Does it matter? Red, black or...

    Brushless motor controller, match wattage or go above?

    If my Brushless hub motor is 500w 48v, should I get the same In a controller, or should I go higher wattage? Is there any advantage to doing that? Just for fun budget project, so I’m looking at the hundreds of Chinese controllers littering eBay. Would they work reliably? I do have an esc, but...

    Multiple Airsoft lipos for a scooter project

    I’m building an escooter and want to keep it looking stealthy and not home made. If I dont want to modify framework, I’m limited on battery depth. I used lipos in my longboard project with good success Could I use multiple Airsoft lipos to make a 12 cell battery? They are 2200mah 20C and will...

    Gear ratio on chain drive

    I’m using 6s on a 236kv motor. 9” wheels. I am limited on space with the scooter I am building so it has to be 6mm chain drive I think. The motor shaft is 6mm, so as far as I can see, I can go up to max 12 teeth front with a sprocket that has grub screws. If this is too small, can anyone link...

    Scooter build advice, sprocket sizing

    Been a while since I was on here. I built an electric longboard that went in the loft because it terrified me no handed! I’m back with a view to building a scooter, mainly from parts of the longboard. I have 6s lipos, esc and turnigy 5065 236kv motor. The donor scooter has 9” wheels. I’ve...

    Easy gtb controller redesign.

    Who needs 3d printing? :D Elegant? No, pretty, no. Practical, yes! It was my first go and I could do neater next time. Solid rubber casing, so any drops should be ok.... Dismantled, cut long extra bit off of trigger, joined to the configuration I wanted, then wrapped in electrical tape...

    GT2B transmitter mod experts needed

    Can anyone who has modded these please help with two queries, as I don't want to try and end up ruining a good transmitter. 1. Will it work if I unplug the steering control? The control that is usually used to steer is plugged into the main board. As it is redundant, will the controller...

    Think about it..

    Guys, been a tough week. Please do not take this as a vote for sympathy. I do not want people telling me they are sorry for my loss etc, I have had wayyyy too much of that. I just want to provoke some thought. My business is a smallish team of 18 staff. One of the key staff went out last...

    Twin motor multi gear. Good idea, or a joke?

    Just an idea from a layman, halfway through his first build. It may already be in use and I have not read about it. It may be a poor idea, it may be a good idea, but I thought I'd share it, as my technical knowledge is not up to building it if it has any merit. I see a lot of twin motor builds...

    My longboard build thread...

    Thought I'd start a build thread. This is from the perspective of a complete novice. I have basic tools (please don't cringe if I use them NOT for their intended purpose, but still get the job done 8) ), I have ZERO electrical skills and a tight budget. I had a vague idea, found this site and...

    Will these parts zoom, crawl, or go bang!

    First post, be nice :? Reading for a while, great resource here and I have been inspired. I have an electric longboard. To be fair, it was an afternoon project with a decent longboard and a kids toy. No speed controller, just a motor, lead acid battery and a switch. It is (was) pretty awful...
