This is some very clean work. Your nephew is lucky to have such a smart and handy uncle. Also that song that is playing in the middle is awesome.
Thanks! I actually spend more time than I’d like to admit picking music.
Awesome video! Thanks so much. Was curious about converting my daughter's Razor Pocket Mod to lithium and this is very inspiring!
I just needed info on how to disassemble the bike to get to the battery 🙂, which I couldn't find online as my model looks different from the instructions on the official razor site. Thank you - your video has that model! Would never attempt something you did! You are a great uncle!!!
Wouldn’t it be great if Razor just made them like this so parents didn’t have to modify them? 30min of run time is pretty lame…
This man is a master lord jesus you my friend are a master at your craft
Great work some one just threw one of those away at my trash bin I can’t wait to get it fixed I might need to upgrade the batteries aswell
how do you not have 100000+ subs?!?! your videos are awesome
Nice job !
I modded my daughter's powerwheel quad years ago to accept dewalt drill batteries. Would like to do something similar to my grandsons mx350. I like the snap in batteries for power tools like the trimmers and mowers. Gonna research
I have this exact bike!
Nice work! Have you ever installed a battery life indicator to a razor scooter with lithium batteries? Would love to see a video on that.
The twist throttle includes a battery charge level indicator that works fairly well.
Thank you for clean video - Question, I have extra Ebike battery 48V 10 AH sitting at home - Can that be connected to this 24 V 350W motor and using the same controller Hub ?
No, you'll break it.
I have one like that for my kids. How much would you charge to do the same thing? I’m in Florida.
I can’t find the battery you got on eBay. I saw you posted links but they are all broken. Where can I get that battery?
Do you still use the factory charger?
I got my son the same bike and can't find the lithium battery where did you order it from
can you listed the product you used in the description? i have an hard time finding the products. thank you

I have one of these and I’m looking to replace my battery with a 24v 15ah and I’m curious why do I need to upgrade the controller and throttle if it’s the same voltage?
You don’t have to upgraded it. The upgraded throttle and controller provide variable throttle and a little bit more speed.
So I have a MX350 I got for free, picked up a new battery set for it for like $35. It runs great, will pull my 11yr old no issues, but won't pull me lol I want to upgrade the battery and motor...where did you get this kit?
Not a kit really, just a collection of stuff from eBay. Controller and accessories are from one seller. You could use any battery that’s 24v. I didn’t upgrade the motor, but I’ve seen options for that too.
My kids seem to run for 45+ minutes at full use. They are fairly new. I have made sure they kniw to full drain and FULLY CHARGE them. I was just wondering if thats the trick or the life will still drop off in time.
Interesting. I imagine terrain and rider weight have a lot to do with it. Ours is ridden off-road with some hills. Or maybe our batteries were no good from the start.
@@jamesjacoby my kids are 8 and 9. 55 lbs and about 70lbs. We only ride on dirt and the trails out back. Thanks for the video! I would love a lithium upgrade to charge faster and have a longer run time.
Yeah mine runs for 45 minutes or an hour.
I am using the same controller and throttle but using a 36V 12AH Lithium battery. Is it essential to keep the fuse in play?
Yes! Fuse is your friend.
Hey, so I was wondering if you changed the controller so it could except then new, but different battery. Can the battery swap work w original controller.
Yes. You can swap without updating the controller. Just make sure the battery you choose has a BMS with low voltage cutoff
Are you using the fast scooter 36v overvolt controller or the 24 volt fast scooter controller ?
24v
SIIICK Build.. Links to parts if you have time.
Here is the exact item. However, it turned out to be overkill IMO. You could go with a smaller and cheaper one and it would be easier to fit. www.ebay.com/itm/24V24Ah-Lithium-LiFePO4-Ebike-Battery-Charger-Electric-Wheelchair-Motor-BMS-500W-/144401685875?hash=item219f02dd73
@@jamesjacoby hey man that parts is gone now any recommendations for anything close to it ?
What’s a good 12 ah battery that fits in the original body
Could I have a link to a similar battery I could not fined one 😊
Is the improved controller required because of the new Lithium battery or I can just replace the battery keeping the original controller?
You can keep the same controller. The upgraded one provides variable throttle and small performance boost.
How much cost the batery?😊
have you tried to put suspension?
so how did it do, do you have a review?
If you see this how fast does it go or is it the same
If you switch to lithium, do you have to change the charger and controller of can you keep the original? Thank you for your help
He changed the charger controller in the video.
How much the difference in speed? Runtime? And recharge time? planning to do this set up too thanks
Speed is a little faster and it maintains speed better than before. Takes about 3 hours to charge from nearly empty to full. About 3 hours run time, which was probably overkill.
@@jamesjacoby Is that 3 hours run time with you on it ?
@@dicevizion kid riders
@@jamesjacoby That is a lot of runtime. I wonder if you could have found a 12aH that would have fit without modifying the body of the bike. The lithium batteries have much more usable power than SLA. I am wondering if the battery had a BMS built in though?
@@aaronbateman2948 for sure a smaller battery would more than adequate for most. Although it’s a nice luxury to only charge it occasionally. The BMS is built in.
Awesome build. What was the total cost of build ?
conversion was about $250
Links are gone
How would the 36v 20AH fit? The battery in the video is out of stock but the aforementioned is not. Thanks.
I wouldn't use 36v, you'll burn out the motor. Shop around eBay, Ali Express, etc
@@jamesjacoby Appreciate the reply and thanks for the inspiration!
How much would you charge to do that to my sons mx350 ?
Could you kindly supply a link for that battery as I cannot find it anywhere.. Thank you kindly
Just search 24v lipo4. Take a tape measure, measure the space you have, and find a 24v lipo4 that will fit. Same thing on any ebike/scooter/4 wheeler. Make sure you get as many AH as you can afford/fit.😊😊😊
I wish you were my uncle 😂
How you connected the battery did you used the same harness with the fuse?
I know I reused the Anderson connector that came with it and either added a fuse or kept the inline one - either way you want a fuse 😅
Hello please respond quickly is it possible? To get a 36v bat and use the stock controller? Will it go to 20mph? or slower
Not sure. Probably just under, but you risk melting your motor.
@@jamesjacoby ohh not the controller??
Shouldn't have to swap the controller....? But new controller can make it faster with less
I’m the market to get my son a dirt bike. Torn between spending 2000$ on a gas dirt bike or buying a brand new razor and going this route with the upgraded battery and such
There are tons of good commercial options that are turn-key, gas or electric. It's more if you WANT a project. Sometimes it ends up costing more to go custom. Depending on how old your son is and if he'd enjoy learning and doing the project with you it can be a fun route.
How much do you charge to do that to my sons bike ?
Realmente soy nuevo en esto, quiero mejorar mi Moto de 24v a 36v
hello, im trying to repurpose a mx 350 into an occ chopper bicycle. i want to use 2x drill batteries in parrallel. the batteries are 20volt, 3.9 ah, will my motor work?
20v is too low. You need 24v.
Can you do more then 24v and will the motor still work ?
Do you do this kind of work to other bikes I will pay my son has the same bike I would like to upgrade it for him
It's a nice offer, but unfortunately I don't have time for commission work.
The batterylink is expired, can you re-post the battery link or something similar to upgrade with, thanks.
Try searching ebay or other sites for "24v LiFePO4" or similar.
How is the battery pack holding up
Great!
15-20min? No way. I, at 175lbs, can ride my sons bike for almost 30min. My 7 year old can ride it for nearly an hour of throttle time. And that's whit the a variable throttle that sends more voltage to the motor.
His was probably overcharged
My kids is only lasts like 10 minutes
@@hyperwolfco8021 Your batteries need replacing, chief. You can get a much larger capacity, lighter, and smaller lithium battery for not very much money at all. I'd look into it if you're going to replace your batteries anyway.
Can I use this same set up on the Hyper 350??
I don’t know for sure, but it’s also 24v so there’s a good chance.
Can u put a link about what light that is
Looks like it’s out of stock. Link in description to the original item.
You started pulling put tools I have no idea how to use nd ya lost me🥺 I can't just use duck tape?
Can I get a list of the parts you upgraded
Fast Scooters Controller, throttle and lights kit from eBay. It’s hard to link to a specific battery because the listings always change. Search for 24v LiFePO4 with US shipping. Get one that comes with the charger.
How did you get the key ignition?
It came with the kit from fast scooters
@@jamesjacoby where did you get the kit?
@@kmannion Added links to description
@@jamesjacoby ok thank you very much!
where did you get the battery?
eBay, but looks like most of the similar listings have been taken down. You could try aliexpress or similar.
Dude ill pay you i have a 350 and a 500 my kid needs way more time
Thanks, but unfortunately I don't have time and the logistics would be overwhelming. You could tackle a simpler version with a slightly smaller battery without the need to modify the body shell as much and it would be a lot easier.
Dude replace the motor
Can I sent mines and I will pay you
