Hi, I'm Maz, and I'm looking to start building an e-scooter.
People from Reddit sugggested I post in here about my build, I need knowledge, tips and tricks, thanks in advance.
I want to use this off-road often, and at least 20km range would be great.
I'm thinking of possibly leaving the 16" front wheel that came with it, leave at the back for now perhaps and put the 20" hub motor wheel at the front?
I'd prefer have the power at the back wheel for maximum fun though.
ALSO - I realize I went ahead and bought some stuff that I will have to replace sooner than later - aka the frame.
I'm buying the rest of this stuff based on that I'll make a version 2 of this scooter, it's an interesting learning experience!
I'm building a 20" * 4" fat wheel scooter, I'm in Aus, and so far getting most parts from AliExpress.
Here is the scooter I bought for the frame, the only decent option in Aus that I found cheaply!
I found inspiration when I found thiis images;

The scooter, it came with a 16" front, and 12" rear wheels.
Here's the 16" wheel put on the back, and a 20" mockup front.
unable to upload that image but you know what I mean,
I'm going to replace both front and back with 20" wheels.
I want to install a 20" rear 3kw hub motor on the scooter, the front fork will be cut off, as I've ordered a 20" MTB oil suspension front fork.
I definitely also need new handlebars! recommendations?
What brand front disc break do you recommend? I'd need a caliper as well.
I'm going to install a folding seat with suspension on it too.
I'm interested in using this or similar seat suspension.
