| Additional Features | I am new to this and hope to hear from the EV community with ideas and suggestions. Finding the parts: motor and controller have delayed an otherwise easy rebuild. I still hope to finish this within the month. First-disassemble second- brush of the rust third- paint, paint, paint fourth- search for parts (this is still taking along time) fifth- battery tray/ motor mount welding sixth- missing brake parts-possible disc conversion seventh- rear sprocket and chain assembly(not needed) eight- 8-29-09 first ride with chain problems delaying a great ride. | ||||||
| The motorcycle mechanic told me it was a Chinese motorcycle toy. He had it because the motor didn't work and that everything else worked. I wanted to learn more about EV systems and hope to gain a small insight with this scooter project. | |||||||
