*UPDATED*
It's rolling now (by foot, electrics not installed yet). :wink: The foot peg mount is temporarily installed, I will be making a proper one from aluminium.
Hi guys. I'm Armandd from Malaysia. I just wanna share some pics and details about my e-scooter build, which I plan to use as a commuter. My workplace is only about half a mile from my home. It's only about 50% completed at this moment. The chassis is made from bicycle parts welded together and the battery box is a stressed member of the chassis. I use 13 inch wheelbarrow wheels and tires mainly because they are dirt cheap to purchase and replace (only 6.32 USD per piece). However, they do create some issues which I think I can solve. Here are the specs:
Chassis: No suspension. Mainly steel, some extruded aluminium and hard wood. Some welded together bicycle parts.
Motor: Unite Motor 24V 450W DC geared brush motor. 420rpm no load speed, 395rpm with load. 10Nm at the output sprocket.
Controller: Yiyun 500W 24V or 800W 36V (can't decide yet).
Drivetrain: Chain drive, 420 size bicycle chain. Front 16t freewheel sprocket, rear 17t single speed sprocket.
Battery: Sealed Lead-Acid SLA 12V 7.2Ah x 4, 2s 2p (I plan to upgrade to 18650 lipo cells later, when my budget allows).
Brakes: Cable operated discs, 203mm front, 160mm rear.
Some mock-ups.
