Isn't it funny how you find the best deals when its pouring rain and your driving thru a very bad section of town...
I was driving back from the bank on some 1 way back roads and saw a broken down blue E300 electric razor scooter on the side of the road, I pulled over and asked them if they were selling the scooter, they said "its free". I was actually looking for a scooter project to mess around with so I felt bad and decided to offer them $10 for it.
They then said have you heard of a "Grom"? I said yes I know the Grom... We walk around the back of the 3 decker house to find a very rusted/beat up old Boom 2000w Electric Grom clone with missing plastics and missing batteries and tons of damage...They ask me what I think it is worth, I said probably $50 honestly (I think this is the DongFang Swift-E STT-2000E)
I kept my poker face on after seeing the hub motor and controller still all intact looking promising...I went back to my truck to count my money and I only had $30 but they decided to sell it to me anyway, since the batteries are missing out of both vehicles they were completely useless to them
So this will be a quick little thread on the two vehicle and me getting them back to a working state
my daughter wants me to overvolt the scooter to 36v with some hover board batteries so it will be nice and fast
Sorry these first few pics are awful since it was dark and pouring rain by the time I got them into my shed
