    Making a Quazzar E-Divine go a bit faster?

    Thanks, that looks like it would fit straight in. Unfortunately I've already chopped the headset up to make the other one fit, so it's staying like that now. Yeah, in the pic above the caliper bracket should be bolted up behind the shock... that is the spares bike and the caliper is seized, so...

    Making a Quazzar E-Divine go a bit faster?

    As promised @hipur, here's a pic of the suspension setup. It is pretty archaic, being based on what classic Vespas use, but I find it OK... depends on what you're used to I guess. I've removed the shiny chrome guard thing off the bottom link so you can see it better. So is yours much different...

    Making a Quazzar E-Divine go a bit faster?

    Yep, the spare one in still in bits... will post some pics of the front fork at the weekend. I've got the instruments working, the speedo is one that came with the controller (from Aliexpress - link further up this thread) EDIT: The app is talking to the controller happily now, it needed to...

    Anyone know of a decent battery rebuilder in the UK please?

    I have some 60V 20Ah battery packs for my Quazzar E-Divine scooter, all of which are pretty well knackered. Two of them fit perfectly under the seat, so I'd like to keep the containers but have their innards rebuilt to 72V, as the new Fardriver controller will handle this. The last battery I...

    Making a Quazzar E-Divine go a bit faster?

    Bit of progress on this... the controller arrived, and was fitted up to the point that would allow it to do the self-learning thing with the motor, save for the wire to the ignition key, because I have no wiring diagram for the Quazzar. In the end I hit on the idea of removing the bodywork from...

    Making a Quazzar E-Divine go a bit faster?

    I ordered a Fardriver controller with a matching speedo from Aliexpress which I'm just awaiting the arrival of: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005445002203.html It comes with a matching instrument panel just in case, but the speedo on mine is old school; driven by a cable, so I'm...

    Making a Quazzar E-Divine go a bit faster?

    A very quick update - you can modify those two parameters, but they're already maxed out. So it looks like new controller time. OP in the other thread seemed to know what he was doing, he bought a Sabvoton 72150 but it doesn't appear that he got round to fitting it before selling his Quazzar...

    Making a Quazzar E-Divine go a bit faster?

    Thanks for this... I haven't noticed any appreciable voltage sag when going up hills, so I'm going to see if I can modify the parameters you mention (cautiously!) and see what occurs. I don't really know the state of the three batteries; haven't had the bike roadworthy long enough to make any...

    Making a Quazzar E-Divine go a bit faster?

    I have two of these Chinese retro-styled scooters, and I'm trying to make one of them useful as a commuter bike. Here's a picture of a similar one from eBay, all the ones that turn up seem to be ex-Pizza Express in this black and white colour scheme. I settled on one of these because I like -...

    Chinese Retro Scooter - Running at 72v versus 60v

    So I'm now the proud (?) owner of two Quazzars (don't ask :ROFLMAO:) and three battery packs... Quazzar #1 now has an MOT and is road legal and everything, and the de-restriction appears to have worked (40mph on the flat, albeit severely reduced by hills). In case anyone else didn't know, the...

    Chinese Retro Scooter - Running at 72v versus 60v

    Turned out to be simpler than that, the traction battery was flat, so the thing that converts 60V->12V for the lights etc. was only knocking out 11.5V. Happily I only paid for this contraption was I thought it was worth without a battery, as I was pretty certain the battery would be shot. Next...

    Chinese Retro Scooter - Running at 72v versus 60v

    Did it this morning, worked a treat... I had the added complication of having to re-attach the serial - USB adapter, as it had become detached at some point. For the benefit of any other Quazzar owners who may find themselves with this problem, the connections are: red=VCC, black=GND, green=RXD...

    Chinese Retro Scooter - Running at 72v versus 60v

    It's exactly the same as the setup shown in the OP's pictures, which is why I was hoping they might still be around... OP mentions software, drivers and using Windows 10, all of which I have, but not sure if you just plug the USB lead from the bike's controller into the laptop, or if some other...

    Chinese Retro Scooter - Running at 72v versus 60v

    Don't know if the OP is still around, but I'm just wondering what cable I would need to work with this setup. I have just bought a 2016 Quazzar, which has an (allegedly) working 60V battery, and I would like to be able to remove the speed restriction as described in this post. Cheers.
