Hi everyone,
A friend of mine just gave me a Pulse Charger Revolution e-board that he had sitting around for awhile.
The lead-acid batteries were shot and he didn't have a charger for it. I am new to this, but don't mind getting my hands dirty or skinning my knuckles. I understand that I will have to drop a bit of coin to get something respectable, but I am a old school hacker/modder and tend to drool at the opportunity to start a new project, (much to the dismay of my girlfriend).
The people over in the battery section have been helping me choose a battery pack to replace the 2 x 12v 4.5ah lead-acid batteries that came with the board, but before I buy the battery pack, I was wondering about the motor. It comes with the following stock motor:
Dexun micro motor
ZXT6832-24
24v/DC 100W
NO: 20110813-29229
www.dexun.cn
Is this "good" or should I look at an upgrade? I am not so much interested in speed as in torque/power as the part of town that I live in has a lot of hilly terrain. I have a pretty good understanding of electronics and my son has a degree in electronics, so if modding the existing setup is necessary, that's not a problem.
Thanks
