Awesome wheel and motor. Could you break down the battery and fit it in triangle? Would feel top heavy for a such a small bike up there?

Awesome I will keep that in mind. Very helpful info thanks. Problem still remains with my controller. I connect 2 power wires phase hall and throttle and nothing....

...

Throttle showed up. Connected it up with controller batteries and motor and... nothing :( Anybody able to identify wires and point me towards some tests...?

Is it not worth setting up regen braking? Yes everything costs more I've noticed on hobby king website when I switched to Au from international

As for batteries. I've heard lipo is dangerous but power to weight is best... I use to play with rc cars but that was crappy nicad n they could heat up when quick charged... We use to use fire blankets- lay it down the put batteries ontop and then fold it over... I found these on ebay...

Hmm Sounds like alot of batteries. Would it still be lighter than SLA? Specs on the scooter were 4x 12v 20ah and 50kms travel... does this sound right?

Oh and yes dogman 15kms each way but can charge at work

Thanks dogman. Docnjoj, charger I can sort for SLA or li-ion n then I'll just bank the batteries accordingly. I was planning on using 18650's from laptops. Had a dead one at home 8 months ago that I made a 3s2p out of n have been using it for camping lights and on the few odd occasions...
