I paid $50 for my Pocket Mod scooter within the plastics. I upgraded to a 48 volt 1000 watt brushed motor with an appropriate controller and variable throttle. Now I just need to upgrade the motor mount. The new motor didn't come with it's own mount welded onto it, so I made one with wood and a metal face plate. Eventually, I will get a welding machine to weld a metal motor mount to the motor. I also plan to upgrade the brakes to disc brakes. In addition, I currently use a rechargeable bicycle taillight and headlight for it. But, I may eventually install the car trailer taillights, with brake lights, that I have onto it. I also plan to build some turn signal circuits so I can signal my turns without hand signals.
I just found one of these and I put my 12v lithium batteries on it and it keeps shutting off. Does that mean my batteries are too strong for the controller? I cut it off then back on and it works still.
Would ryobi batteries power the stock motor? I just acquired one that was being tossed and it didnt have a battery. Two 18v 4ah wired in parallel on the 12v motor?
@@TechUpBuilds ah. Forgot about that. Come to think about it.. I don't remember seeing a controller lol. I must have inherited another father's failed project. Hmm. At least it was free.
would 72v? work with this build or you think thats overkill? i have one of these mini razor peds my grandpa gave me this thing when i was like 6 he passed away it would be so cool to make a crazy sleeper build out this thing
I currently use a 48v 20AH lithium battery pack. It works ok if I don't have to ride more than 25 miles in a day. When I can afford to, I'll upgrade to a battery pack that is at least 40AH.
It depends what you want out of your build. You don't want to be running a heavy motor on something this small with minimal room for batteries and controller.

That’s actually cool🔥🔥

How's the little motor holding up?
Really good, Been very Happy with the FlipSky Kit.
How many watts is the motor

@zombieno1 Motor should be fine but controller might not be. Factory system is 24v.

It really depends how much you want to spend. The build I did was already up to $300 not including the bike.
i want to run same motor and controller for a pocketmod as well will i be good with a 48v 20ah Lithium battery pack?
Yes, just check what how many amps can be supplied from the battery pack/BMS as you want at least 30A.
does the motor heat up quick?

how much did the motor and controller cost?
Best to go to the Flipsky website and check as their prices are always changing:
75100 ESC
6384 Motor
pocket mod dont have selfbalanceing it kind dangerous thought if it go 60
how many volts are you running
13S or 48.1v nominal
nope its the rear clutch free spining
its called weld that thing
I recently welded it shut, only issue at low speed the chain can slap due to the chain tensioner but it hasn't been a problem for me.
Not right motor
Why not?

@@colinriches1519 The motor, ESC and battery are all smaller that what came in it from factory?
I know what’s wrong with it ain’t got no gas in it
@@dustinfurman4045it should be , I know whats wrong with it. It dont have no voltage in it
