    ahh the mercane widewheel. nice deck. thats about it. worst riding scooter out there straight out of the box. lol. has a bit of a habit cracking every component possible.. well.. although the neck is weak. i think better suspension and wheels would save it a lot. i had bits from doing the OG s8 dual (older two bolt neck base s8's from donor scrapper) i kept the old mercane scrapper decks. only realizing one had a neck crack already. i moved onto the second one. and used the busted post from the broken neck mercane, welded this with the TIG only a 2mm bead all the way around to a hero s8 neck post bottom flange 4 bolt. which allows me to attach the s8 c section front. spun it around as i know trailing arm is much better trailing. lol used the bigger mercane battery 48v. s8 motors and controller. swapped the motor direction and caps around. added x-tech semi hydraulic calipers from the x8. also utilized the stock headlight and rear stop light. anyway. if you have a mercane with a busted front c section snapped at the post. hit up DUBITZ scooters if you would like to do such a modification :)
    you can test ride this little sucker at the shop and see what you think :) dont push it too hard tho lol.

    Hi mate, you’ve done a great job on the wide wheel. I’m wondering if there’s any way you could help with wiring a similar tf-100 style throttle on my widewheel? A simple wiring diagram would be a massive help. Thanks in advance

    • @highwaltage
      @highwaltage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      you will only be able to use the throttle part. not the lcd at all... so you only really need the case with the throttle and magnet part. no internal lcd required if you just want to use a finger throttle. to use the LCD as intended. you have to use the controller that goes along with it and bypass the mercane stuff like i have here.
