Got a question. I bought 24v 350 watt with a 24v 500watt controller, throttle with key. Everything hooked up and without touching throttle, tire moves. Do I have a cross wire? My batteries are trash. Going to order new next week.
Ashley Barkmeyer Yes. Originally I cut and welded the battery tray Support’s to lower it enough to fit three lead acid batteries standing side by side. But since then I’ve gone to 36v hoverboard batteries and they fit three in an unmodified scooter battery tray. With my existing modifications I’m able to fit four hoverboard batteries. We just took the scoots for an 8 miles very hilly hide and they still had 38volts left to go! This is with a 1000W controller and a 500w motor!
Matthew Guilbault thanks for the info. I am looking at doing something similar to my e300. I also build RC planes and drones so I am familiar with the electronics. I have a few more questions regarding your mods if that’s ok? - do you have a voltage cut off mechanism for the batteries? - do you need to remove the batteries to charge them? - is your motor a brushed or a brushless motor?
Ashley Barkmeyer Happy to help! One of the reasons that I use hoverboard batteries is because they have a built in BMS so no need to remove the batteries to charge or to worry about cut off voltage. It’s all built in! It’s a brushed motor but I’ve heard good things about the brushless. But honestly the 500w will carry 160lbs up a very large hill and not even get warm to the touch. Not sure how much more performance I need. But I may consider a hub motor as an upgrade to the second scooter. Hope this helps!
@@NortheastVintage Hi there! I was wondering what hoverboard batteries you ended up using, if you don’t mind? I came across your vids last night and after I saw this reply, have been searching, but am not positive on what to use for 48v. Thank you!
@@chrishayes5755 I overvolted a 500 watt brushed motor for a Razor E300 it works great. Those Dopes don't know what they are talking about. It is all over TH-cam people doing it.
Does your handle bar fold down? I just purchased an E-300 and the handle bar doesn't fold, is there an adapter available to convert non-folding to folding? Thanks
I don't need faster....I want more ride time. I am not really electronically smart enough to figure out....how hard would it be to have 2 battery packs...the originals and more....and make some way to charge either set and switch to either set.....like an auxillary gas tank....is that maybe something a repair shop could rig up for me? Or....not possible
@@NortheastVintage can you link me some for the E300? Cant find any. And the original batteries suck. I gotta replace mine anyways since the battery is from 2015 and is dead now
You can stand up three batteries side by side. Fast Scooters sells a kit that comes with spacers & longer screws to raise the deck. no need to change battery compartment.
How do you charge it with The new controller plugged in to the original charging port does it do it automatically when you have it connected to the new controller
I found an e300 just needed batteries
I'm gonna follow your videos to upgrade THANKS
Modified my Gotrax GXL and that thing can go over 20 for sure!!!
@Orlando Shepherd you guys are all over these vids
@@koopah6405 Thanks
Sorry for the late reply. But yeah. I still have my GoTrax. Just learned how to ride a self balance scooter too

I have a E200, just a 36V e-bike controller and 18V Milwaukee batteries. Would it be possible to put it all together and have a working scooter?
How do you charge it with the new controller that’s still connected to The original charging port
What is the throttle and over volt controller brand
Future build 2 or 3 24 v motors.. gearing and battery.wut?
But if you put 3 24v battery the deck not going to fit exactly
Hi. Did you modify the cover to fit the batteries that are now standing upright, not on its side?

Hey, I have a 36V 500W brushed e-scooter. Can I tune/overvoltage it to 48V with an extra battery and 48V controller? Will the 36V motor hendle it?
No it won’t because the motor is brushed
@@matthew-clarkkeeble7015 no it will work
@@matthew-clarkkeeble7015 why would a brushed motor not be able to be overvolted?
@@matthew-clarkkeeble7015 are u stupid.

no
The older ones had folding handles. The new ones don’t.
Uuuuummmmm

Three words: lithium ion batteries. That’s all you need to know and will accomplish all of your goals. 👍

How did he fit in 3 batteries? I have 2-9ah’s in and no room is left in the box under the board really..
I cut and extended the steel support bars under the battery tray to make it bigger

I’ve since upgraded to lithium 36v batteries with a hoverboard battery charger.

@@derekh9104 Stand them up.
Would a 300 watt motor handle this?
Stupid too confusing 🙄 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎🤲🤲
Uuuummmmmm
Why avoid a 36V motor
When you overvolt a 24 volt motor it is faster then a 36 volt motor.
@@luckyducky6534 Pretty sure it has more to do with the controller being limited for the 36v, than the overvolting of the 24v one
I just put two new batteries in it and seemed to be fine for a little while dude you can't even get a couple miles out of this thing it sucks
me too got 2 e300's both new batteries but 10amp hours each not 7 amp hours each....still max 1.5 miles. im building li ion batteries now
Is your favorite word umm holy crap
Do away with those venerable lead batteries.
Please get lithium!!!!
Done! And loving it!
@@NortheastVintage good for you?
Do you feel a large burden off you now?
I felt the same way!!!
Hi what setup do you have xx
