Hello, I wanted to share my EV conversion on an old 1950's Parilla scooter. It came to me in very poor condition but luckily no rust. Alot of this has been more of a restoration than a conversion but it'll be sweet getting this baby back on the road. There has been tons of awesome info on here and I am sure I'll continue to ask more questions. Thanks for all the help and love reading about the rad projects! I still have a fair bit but everything powers on and the rear wheel spins nicely. I need to get a windows computer so I can download the programming software still as well. Hoping for around 40-45mph top speed and 20-30 mile range but we shall see....I know a lot of this is dependent on riding condition and tuning factors. There may be a time where a second smaller battery like a "reserve" battery will be set in place.
Some build stats:
