    i've learned to make carbon fiber like this way on a moped forum the same way as you do, quite cool!.
    im building a panther 3s rn, i want to make it a stunt mobility scooter as it has 3 wheels, the cart behind it gives me ideas for a range extender, but it being a 3 wheeler might make it more dangerous with a cart behind it.

    Ciao perdonami. Io ho lo stesso scooter. Oltre alla centralina tu hai cambiato anche il motore o il motoriduttore? Originale lo scooter va a 24 volt e anche con la centralina diversa a me non cammina veloce come il tuo. Mi puoi aiutare a capire? Grazie molte

    What voltage did the scooter start out as? Has it held up well to 56V? Any idea how fast it goes? I have a scooter I'm thinking of doing this to.

    Where would you get a battery like that for cheap in NZ?

    I got tbe same controller, on a 24v 600w motor. With 48v lead acid its really slow, with 52v lion, its really fast but the battery cuts off on full throttle. What could be the issue

      Bms in the battery, you either need a bigger battery or less power drawn from your esc

      I had this issue with my ebike, the bms doesn't allow so many currency to come across, so it protects itsself, battery can be perfectly fine but the BMS just does the BS..
      I got my first mobility scooter yesterday, i have a 1500W Ebike controller with thumb throttle and i wanna experiment with it, but first i shoud make 2 battery packs which are capable of holding it up.
