Ideas on rebuilding the wife’s scooter

Ace · December 10, 2020, 9:18pm

Ok guys. As much as I love my boards I also like watching my wife’s ass giggle when she hits bumps on her scooter so I need to get this guy back into shape this winter.

battery is on its death bed. Because it hasn’t been run in a year and it’s prolly got garbage cells. So battery replacement is a must. However. While I’ve got it’s guts open it might be interesting to “fix” things that aren’t broken. If you were gonna mod a prebuilt scooter what would you do to it?

There’s no balance leads on this thing.

Definitely new, stronger battery and more powerful ESC so you can actually set your own parameters. While you’re at it, maybe a new motor too. Then you can “watch your wife’s ass giggle” as you’re trying to catch up to her😂

I need this thing to keep up w a long range srb build.

Then my first suggestion would be a high capacity pack, say p42a, 30q or 40t?

Yea. I’m definitely going with new cells. I just found a drop in kit that boosts it from 10s 500w to 12s 1000w

It’s low amperage at 25a so I’m thinking like a 50e cell

Would some one be so kind to make me a rendering of 21700 cells + a balancing Bms within this space?

I don’t have any on hand.

120x370x55mm?

Trying to figure out how many 12s Pgroups I can fit

This is the best config I could come up with, 12s3p. Its kind of an odd shape because its two narrow for 2 cells wide and its too short for a triple stack. If you have a BMS that is under 10mm you might be able to do a 12s4p.
