Scooter building
I had a dream that I built a new scooter that could go a bit faster (mostly for hills) and had a longer range. I know both are feasible, the obstacles are weight (the motor is heavy) and power (batteries are heavy too). I think I could probably double the battery capacity on my current scooter with some clever placement, but then I need a more powerful motor to drive the extra weight.
Maybe I just need to see if lithium ion batteries are feasible for a scooter application.
Anyway, a 1000W motor is probably enough for extra batteries right?
