How to Convert a 24V scooter to 36V - Dirty Method

Step 2Gut Scooters

Gut Scooters
This is really a more careful operation that it sounds. You'll want to mark everything, to make sure you can put it back together at a later date.

Important things to mark on the motor controller

  • Motor
  • Battery
  • Power Switch
  • Charger
  • Brake Switch (to kill motor while braking)
  • Hall effect sensor (throttle) -- this has three wires B-R-Gr
  • Any other accessories (such as a horn or running lights)

Also, keep track of your connectors. From what I've seen in the 6 or so scooters I've come by, disassembled and hacked together - everyone uses the same set of connectors - but they don't always use the same connector for the same task.
