I remember you had that battery problem on your lunatic 100 mile trip. This makes sense now. Thanks for continuing to hack the MotoCompacto and continuing to make these videos!
Thank you. I started seeing them on Facebook marketplace for as low as $650. There are cheaper and faster options when it comes to ebikes and escooters, but I'm a big fan of Honda and I can ride this one at work. :)
The stock battery is at 34volts when it is down to 1 bar and at 33volts when the battery starts to flash. OEM 6.8ah battery. Mode1 - 34v - 8.32 Miles / 33v - 8.8 Miles OEM 6.8ah battery.

Your "external" battery wiring, is it basically disconnect stock battery and hook this one up? You mentioned about another connector to the hub motor... Or does the stock battery power the electronics and "external" battery power only the hub motor?
-The stock Battery powers the lighting and electronics. The aftermarket battery powers the hub motor. -You need to start the Scooter with the stock battery and spin the wheel first, before connecting the aftermarket battery. -There are two extension cables. One extension cable is connected to the OEM battery and the other extension cable is connected to the hub motor. Both cables are then fed up into the storage box. Connecting both cables together runs the scooter on the oem battery. Seperate both cables and you can plug in the aftermarket battery.
@@HondaFit4Adventure Thank you, I'm the person that needs a wiring diagram lol. I wonder if you can wire a 3-way switch "on-off-on", power up the unit using oem, do your initial power on wheel spin, then flip the switch to "external" battery without power down. Or I guess if you use the 3 way you can still power down but don't have to disconnect anything except for "external" battery removal.

@@underground000 Yes, you absolutely can. I'm not done tinkering around with stuff yet, so I didn't want to make anything to complicated or permanent.
