I think for the benefit of board members it would be polite for contributors to disclose their bona fides here before posting (perhaps under your profile footnote) eg declare you are a mobility scooter user, how long, what rig(s) do you use, shopping or pavement type (ie class 1 4mph or class 3...

Indeed they are tough and very well made, once you have big wheels you never go back Thats a plus, real tele forks :o Now for the bummer, the front wheel cable brake was only intended as a parking brake as it relies on dynamic braking. This works till the last second or so when you are...

Here guys is an example of some valuable User experience on replacing GEL with Lithium I don’t know if anyone else has done this but just thought I would make a thread about upgrading the batteries in your pavement scooter. I have a Pride Go-Go Traveller Elite LX but as with other scooters of...

can we leave it at that guys this stag boxing is going nowhere we need eyes on the prize - better batteries for mobility scooters, there's no substitute for sound science, real life experience matters the world of mobility scooters is rife with snakeoil salesmen and getting it wrong can be...

more homework needed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_commercial_battery_types SLA 75Wh/L - 500cycles LiFePo4 333Wh/L - 5000cycles Lion 500Wh/L - 1500cycles depends on DoD and charge rate In my case I get SLA 75Ah replaced by LiFePo4 100Ah with 5x life cycles 1/3rd...

Dont mess with Texas

Ive remembered now, they were called Rascal https://www.theseniorlist.com/mobility-scooters/rascal/ i have the 3 wheel version. Very sturdy construction built like a tank. Rare feature is that it will split into manageable parts so you can pack them in the back of a car - truck, stationwagon...

yeah did airbag stuff as well in the form of a car inner tube. that worked ok, but people thought I had piles and kids would steal the tube and throw it over a lamp stamp :oops: Build your own for off road use, but there's a lot of local regs governing design and use if you want to be legal...

note its a solid chassis no suspension, or telescopics they are fake i made a special bobber seat with bed springs otherwise pavement travel was pretty hard on the spine

Well guys loks like im gonna hit the button on this 24V, 2.4kWh LiFeYPO4 set with 100Ah cells, BMS mobile monitoring https://shop.gwl.eu/Winston-12V-sets/24V-2-4kWh-LiFeYPO4-set-with-100Ah-cells-BMS-mobile-monitoring.html?cur=1 the BMS looks real engineering w bluetooth its gonna cost 3x...

indeed going from 3v to 2.9v as a usable capacity 90-20% is indeed very uncomfortable using a direct Volt measurement I would go for a charge meter and have ordered this for evaluation...

Good point flippy I can see this thread building up a bullet point list of design objectives I have heard of that type of serious accident caused by a 3 wheel "shopping" scooter taken on the footpath by know-it=all granny, and she got tipped off trying to go down a kerb slantwise. fortunately...

PE is what the cousins call a professional engineer, he is licenced by his state to practice in his state and has a stamp to prove it (which he never uses cos of horrendous professional indemnity). Indeed most technical persons never bother with that route, having an engineering degree gets you...
