    from push scooter to EV: advice and comments welcome!

    I guess you're getting the motor out of sync. Adding some hall sensors inside should help. Just my 0.02c.

    Homemade Battery Packs

    Anybody using SLA drop-in replacements with good results? There are many LiFePO4 packs from Dakota, Bienno, Stark power, K2, but no real reports of them in active use or comparisons with custom 18650 packs. DrkAngel previously reported $360 for 4x Dakotas -- this is cheaper than the cells +...
