The Impossible Electric Scooter
This is one of my favorite builds ever and I had an absolute blast riding it! Once you get this beast moving, it's tough to stop.
I used a motor and controller from an electric car, resulting in a powerful machine with a total weight of 310 kg (around 683 lbs). The scooter is designed to reach 100 km/h with the RPM limited to 950, although the motor has the potential to reach up to 1,600 RPM. I powered it with a 105ah 72V battery, which provides about 40 minutes of ride time under extreme conditions. I didn't start with a concrete plan so you'll see me making numerous adjustments and changes throughout the project.
Hope you enjoy the build as much as I did, what are your thoughts about this project?
