Hello! First post here.

I have an old eGo Scooter. The scooter has a 24V brushed motor and a 7s16p 21700 battery pack. I am not satisfied by the performance of the current system. So the idea is to replace the current brushed drive with a brushless drive.

After looking into the subject, I am thinking that a 200kv 80100 motor like this: https://www.freerchobby.cc/collecti...80100-rc-outrunner-brushless-motor-for-e-bike and a VESC might work. My goal would be to achieve a top speed of about 60km/h so according to my calculations I would need a 28 tooth pulley on the motor for a theoretical top speed of about 63km/h. I would put the motor in the same place where the old one was, so the reduction would be the following: 28-80 to the jackshaft which drives 22-56 to the rear wheel.

As I already have the battery pack, I am unfortunately limited to 7s. I also already have a 100A continuous BMS so I am also limited by that. Keeping these bottlenecks in mind, I think a good enough VESC might be for example this: https://flipsky.net/collections/ele...-on-vesc6-6-with-aluminum-anodized-heat-sink
In the end though, I don't care that much about extreme acceleration. I just want the scooter to travel at a decent speed with decent acceleration while not breaking the bank.

Does this sound possible? Is there anything I should revise?
 
Easier to add a 3S pack in series with your 7S pack. eGo scooters are known to work on 36V. Unless you want to spend a lot of money, do a lot of work, and then burn your motor because you used an airplane motor inside a closed chassis, then why not work with what you have?

Thank you for replying!
Unfortunately my eGo has an SC-controller which only works to a maximum of 32V as stated here: https://egovehicles.net/how-to/SC-Controller-Diagnostic-Codes.pdf. The Sevcon-controller works up to 45V: https://egovehicles.net/how-to/Sevcon-Controller-Diagnostic-Codes.pdf

So unfortunately even 8s would be too much :(

Seems like it would be cheaper and easier to swap to a different controller than a different motor and controller.
