One thing I want to mention is that I found the scooter in the garbage in the alley behind my condo. So I have not put any money into it other than the upgrades. It was taken apart and it looked like someone tried to fix a flat tire in the back and took to many things off and couldnt get it back together. And it still had a flat... But for free who can complain. It had the keys in the battery compartment and all the parts in a plastic baggy.


Ok so instead of trying the below I decided to go ahead and order some parts and the battery at the bottom of the list. I got a boma 60v 2000W motor but not the one below on the links. Once I have the parts I will start to document the upgrades. I got a new throttle also.

Here are some pictures of what it looks like now. It will pretty much look the same other than the throttle since the motor, controller and battery are all out of sight. There will be a lot more room in the battery compartment since the lithium is about half the size of the SLA. Which is good since the controller is twice as large as the current one.

Hi all,

New here and hoping you all can help. I know Uberscoot/Mototec/etc many other scooters use the same frame from what I have seen. I am looking to upgrade my 36V 500W to a 60V 2000W. I know what I need when it comes to the motor and controller but the battery is the issue. I know many of these are a little larger as far as the battery compartment goes to accommodate 4 12V SLA batteries instead of the 3 mine has so that one is larger for the battery compartment I believe. Now where I am curious is if you all have any way to get me the measurements of the battery for the 60V one so I can see if it will go in the compartment I have now that fits the 3 12V SLA batteries.

Hope that make sense. Below are the links and dimensions of my battery compartment.

This is the one I have except it has a 500W motor instead of the 1000W that the one for sale has. Exactly the same otherwise.

Inches
12.5"x6.75"x4.25"
Centimetres
31.75x17.145x10.795
Millimetres
318x171x108


BTW I tried the company but they do not have the dimensions. So maybe if someone has a similar scooter with the similar 60V battery and can give me the dimensions of the battery or the battery compartment. I have a feeling that battery may be to large for my compartment in which case I plan to get this battery with the same controller and motor from the previous links.

I did a similar build a couple years ago. Went from 1000w brushed 36v SLA (18 ah) to 48v lipo (12s), 16ah, 1500w brushless Boma. Also upgraded the controller to a Kelly. Here's a link to photos of the process including my own wiring diagram. It current tops at 36 mph, but doesn't go much further than 15 mi with mixed riding. Now I ride a Toursor.

The dimensions are listed in mm on that specification sheet below the description. Had not heard of this company before, interested to hear your opinion when you get the battery
 
Ack, where's Hillhater? That thing is so close to a Razor.

I have most of one of those, I bought the whole scrap heap from the father of some spoiled kids, what's kept me from doing what you're doing is you're going to need room for batteries something fierce. Mine didn't come with them but I assume they were 10a. Just one of those batteries you've listed I'm sure will get you well under 5 miles.

My Currie scooters were never FS but otherwise came close, highly unrewarding to upgrade a footboard scooter over 1000w.
 
Most battery makers(lithium) you can pretty much get them to make a battery to fit your dimension...... you can pretty much do the math on your own...... my build I'm running 2x 13s (48v)20ah to equal 40ah 48v40ah..... you want 60v (lithium)
Need atleast 16s but I say 17s😁 3.7x16 or 3.7x17 nominal but 4.2 when fully charged is your number.......
I'm running 18650.....1s is 18x65mm give or take......
So in you case measure differences at 16s or 17s
Here's my build have the same frame.... also it's the same frame 48v or 36v it's the SLA 36v 3x12ah 48v 4x10ah

I have an Uberscoot 1600w as well. Currently have 2* 52v 30ah batteries in the base (60ah total) that I made myself. With the stock motor and controller as it's currentuy set up I can hit 50 mph on flat land (I'm only 145lbs). I tried smaller 33th gear, but I notice I got an ever greater speed increase, not to mention batter handling when I switched from the stock knobby tires to slicks.
Shots of the Cycle analyst from a recent trip to Seattle (1 way) 27Ah = 45 Miles. I was on a bike/pedestrian trail most of the way and trying to conserve battery, so I didn't fully open the throttle, but I got close max trip speed 47.1.

Unfortunately my Battery compartment is larger than the 36v, But I believe I have my old measurements from my 1000w saved in an evernote somewhere if you need it.
