Yes my new controller is a Kelly kls-n which supports regenerative braking, I have it disabled atm since I have sooo much battery capacity, I don’t really need it, and my disc brake system is very effective.
I used some extra rotor I had lying around from a bike I built a few years ago, I believe it is 160mm. For the most part 160mm was fine but the mechanical caliper was less than desirable, it would flex under high pressure and was pretty susceptible to brake fade. I recently upgraded to a nice...
I love the upgrades. It has enough power to get me up any hill here in my town, and the range is quite impressive. I took it on a 16 mile ride this weekend and my estimates are that it was about 1/3 drained. I wasn’t full throttle, but I stayed at 15-20 mph the entire time. Max speed seems to be...
Yes for raw breaking performance bigger rotors are the way to go. But for me it’s less about breaking power, the crappy mech brakes I have can lock up the rear wheel, and more about brake feel. A good hydraulic brake system just has a better feel, is more controllable, and not all that much more...
Yeah i thought about adding a brake like that but now that I figured out the issue with the delayed regen breaking I’m much happier with just the rear brake. Plus I feel like I’m more likely to go over the handle bars on a standup scooter during a panic brake. I do however want to upgrade to a...
Something like a slide hammer hooked into the holes on the drum would work. I don’t have a slide hammer so I took a piece of scrap angle iron and ground a hook into one of the corners and hit it with a 3lb sledgehammer, while the wheel was clamped onto a table.
60v conversion completed
So I just finished upgrade if my scooter from 36v to 60v. I used one of the higher rated Chinese 60v 20ah lithium battery packs from unit pack power:

Actually I found a part on Amazon that works perfectly. It replaces the stock drum and allows you to bolt a disc on. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XTM3S7W?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I think it will be able to handle it but, if it becomes a problem I have some ideas for cooling the motor, it that is not enough then I will look into rewinding or even a new motor.
So far I have upgraded the throttle, the stock twist throttle was a PITA, I went to a thumb throttle, but I'm...
Just purchased a new Razor Ecosmart SUP electric scooter. This is a newish model from razor similar to their older ecosmart metro, but with a hub motor and no seat. Its a pretty awesome ride with giant 16inch wheels and wide deck. I purchased it knowing i would want to modify it for more...
