    Throttle cut out wire

    https://images.app.goo.gl/vJAPG2iUQm4Su2ok9 This is the connections, but it’s abbreviated so I have no idea, other than the hall sensors which I’ll be using.

    Throttle cut out wire

    My wife is working an early shift, so I’ll get pictures later, but it’s a VESC mini and a twist type throttle. I just assumed I could wire the brake lever switch into one of the throttle wires, so that if I hit the brake, but still had the throttle on, it would cut that wire in the throttle and...

    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?

    Not scary, exciting! It’s a hub motor from a ‘Kugoo M4’ and says it’s 48v, so I guess I should stick to that voltage. So a higher wattage controller won’t be an issue then?

    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

    Perfect, I didn’t realise there was different names for the same thing. Thanks!

    Gear ratio on chain drive

    Thanks for that. I have a motor and most of the parts to do the build from previous projects. The only thing I really need is the sprockets and chain. Due to this, I need to use a 6mm motor shaft, which looks like it limits choice on a front sprocket. The best choice on here is 16-36 teeth I...

    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...

    Hovertrax by Inventist on kickstarter (+ other clones)

    In the uk, these 'hoverboards' (the Chinese two wheeled Segway things without handlebars) have got loads of press and are all over the news. The upshot is that every story says they are not road legal and only for private roads. Now every police officer out there is on the look out for any kind...

    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...

    Awesome. Just discovered that it is illegal to ride and I will get endorsements on my driving licence :shock: Need to hide that controller somehow! Thanks

    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...

    3 Allen bolts in the head part loose. Screwlocked and all seems ok. Want to try to dismantle the controller now to make it smaller. Anyone done this?

    My longboard build thread...

    Guys, problems. Thought the belt had stretched, but today I see the motor is coming loose. Can't describe in words, so a picture will have to do. It is like the motor is loose from the rotor and can be wiggled sideways. Doesn't affect use, but I am worried if it's unchecked, it will eventually...

    My longboard build thread...

    Not worried about curb clearance. I'm 38 and not a stuntman, I also think that pavement to road transition should involve me stopping/slowing for cars. It is more about protecting the fiery death packs that are so dangerously near my feet and ready to blow at any second :D Just seen its not...
