I know it is not advisable to remove the brakes from a wheelchair or mobility scooter for obvious safety reasons. However, I would like to use the motors (without brakes) along with the control box and joystick from an old mobility scooter for a DIY project that has no safety concerns. However, I suspect that the controller will sense a fault because the brakes are removed and will not let the motors operate. Is there an easy way to trick the controller into thinking the brakes are there and functioning? Would simply tying the two wires together that go to the brake do the trick? Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.
Hi, I used these motors for Robot, my robot required optical encoder on motor shaft rather then brakes, i removed brak so i can mount encoder on shaft, and since its closed loop i can use motor its self as brake, if your controller has feature which doesn't allow controller to work without brake, then use one 10 ohms or 4.7 ohms 10w resistor on brake wire , your controller will detect this as load and should function properly, basically you fool the controller as dummey load, its not great idea as this resistor draw power. but its should work.
yes, it can run without brake, but for safety you need brake while using in wheel char, other application without brake ok
I've got a matto. And his batteries lose charge so quickly why
Please reply
what was the name of the instrument used like a thinnest screwdriver ?
Its Hex Key Tool, Socket Head Cap Screw Wrench spanner
mine is upside down from yours.those three bolts need to come out to get to motor shaft.. damnt lol

@@Thetwovolt The brakes would draw power also, so this may be a viable solution. Thanks.
how many HP these motors are
707hp give or take 705hp.
how many rpm
Motor RPM Approx 3500 and after gear final output RPM 150
Why did you pull the wires out? You should just undo wires of the clutch and then connect the new one.
Its new Motor, i built robot with these motors, i mounted encoder on the shaft, brake not needed in my application.
@@Thetwovolt does this come with inbuilt encoders?
@@davisogunsina1294 No, it doesn't have encoder, just brushed DC motor and Brake
