i apologize if this is a bad "first post"...
i got a second hand ESR 750 ex (not a hoverboard) recently, and was thinking of refurbishing/upgrading it. it runs on SLAs...
it is a coupla years old. black cased motor. as i value reliability/longevity over speed/short-lived parts... any input will be appreciated.
i understand that a torkinator motor is a good upgrade, but wonder what else i should buy and replace it at the same time?
what sort of gearing/chain should i use with the T2V5 motor? (run it cool is... better, i think?)
should i think about going down this route? is the original (black case) motor more reliable than the torkinator?
do the bearings/bushes (wheels, etc) last a while or are they better being replaced whenever possible?
what is the biggest capacity SLA batteries i can use without getting a deck spacer?
how difficult/expensive it is to upgrade the SLAs to lithium phosphate batteries and does anybody know what are the parts that MUST be changed?
any replies will be much appreciated: goped nation doesn't seem to be around anymore... i hope to document this upgrade with photos and descriptions as i go along...
here is at least 1 link for SLA to LiFePo batteries i've read on here (i've been reading a lot, and will accumulate them here as i go:
