Increase e scooter top speed and acceleration

[Smokefly517]

Okay so, I currently have the Ausom Leopard e scooter. I'm trying to figure out how I would go about adding either a 1000w motor, pr getting more power from the current single rear motor. What would the cheaper route be? It has a 48v battery that is around 55v fully charged. It also has a 20amp controller at 48v. Am I able to just upgrade the controller to push more power to the rear motor at the cost of less range or am I better off adding a second controller and motor? If adding a second controller and motor any suggestions on a good kit to do so?

I would start by upgrading the controller simply because it's going to be cheaper than a battery or motor. More current will certainly make the scooter accelerate quicker but be careful it doesn't cook the motor. You'd most likely lose the functionality of the display too.

I ordered a controller that comes eoth a new display. It's a 45a controller compared to the stock 25a controller. I feel like as long as I'm not holding the throttle for long periods it shouldn't cook the motor but I'm sure I'll find out thank you

Start researching your next battery. Your stock battery won't live long at 45A.

Yeah, have a look at the BMS specifications. It’s rare for a vehicle to be supplied with a BMS/battery that can handle double what the supplied controller draws. You might trip it.
