Well perhaps I spoke too soon. I swapped the throttle for a brand new one (originally ordered two of them) and I get the same exact scenario. Tomorrow I'll swap the stock throttle back on and see if I get my speed back. Curious . . .

Sure enough. Pulled the connector for the throttle and I get 5v on the nose coming out of controller but only 3.4v when its plugged in. Dug in and found some damage to the wiring/insulation on the throttle harness.

Very helpful thanks amberwolf!

I haven't opened up the controller to poke around yet but it was stored in my garage the entire winter so I doubt corrosion is an issue. I replaced one of the lipo packs because I discharged it too low at the end of last season and lost one cell that won't take a charge now.

I have a Schwinn Stealth 1000. Everything is stock other than I'm running 12s 10ah Lipo (50.4v max) instead of the factory 36v 12ah SLA's. I ran in this configuration last year with zero issues. Stock 1000w motor did great and top speed was around 20-25mph. I had it down over the winter and...

Making some progress. I ended up ordering 4x 6s 10,000mah multistar packs and intend to run 2s2p configuration. I also ordered a 48v motor/controller/throttle combo. We'll see how that works out. The motor claims 4500 rpms and 1800w. All I know is that it's a beast compared to the original. I...

Would still love some input on my questions above when ya'll have time. UPDATE: I was able to source a suspended fork and some 12" wheels yesterday. I still need to buy some axles and bearings but this is the rough mock up. Drastically changes the look of it! I'm loving the additional ground...

So I'm eyeballing the Multistar 6s 10,000mah packs at Hobbyking. Is it a reasonable course of action to purchase two of those, get the scooter up and running on stock motor and controller and then collect fork/front brake setup and a 48v motor/controller upgrade and then purchase 2 more of these...

Thanks so much for your response! I was hoping to have your input as I've been reading through a few of your threads. I do want to keep it simple to start but I hear you saying that I shouldn't even bother with the factory motor and controller. So can you point me in the right direction for a...

Hey folks, I'm new to the forum and would love to have some advice on my next project. Quick background: I have several electric scooters but the only one I've modified is a Schwinn S500 (currie). I did a cheapo 36v controller/throttle combo swap and I run it on 36v12ah worth of SLA's. Low-tech...
