I am about to do a stand-up e-scooter build for the first time after doing 2 bicycle builds (based on Hub motors).
First I need to decide if I go and buy a used dirt cheap e-scooter and and just upgrade it to fit my needs. Or is there a good frame option for e-scooters like there are for an e-bike (Vector / Raptor frames)?
I am also not sure which way to go in terms of drive (price is not a factor in my decision), should I go with the Hub drive (that is used by all the major e-scooter rental companies) or should I go with the Chain drive?
I would really appreciate any input to help me make a better decision for my next build.
