How to take apart an electric scooter for electric parts.

Theis is the way I take apart a second-hand stand-on electric scooter for parts need for building a electric mountainboard.
(Idea comes from >> http://www.instructables.com/id/Electric-Mountain-Board/ )
The reason I bought a second hand one is because the parts I need are actually more expensive to buy seperately than buying a second hand scooter.......
(new parts=$320,scooter=$220.....)
Otherwise I wouldn't want to take apart this beauty.....

Step 1 Tools we need.

Enable to keep every parts in order so I can easily rebuild the electric parts on my mountainboard, I used few plastic bags and colour stickers to mark every parts.

Yea I bought three of these from a salvage company on ebay, 400 bucks from texas to ontario for all three. Now I just need to plan the battle bot some more :D

Here is what they look like connected to a sabertooth 2x25 controller.

What kinds of things can you do with the controllers? i have two 36V scooters for parts, but i know very little about the controllers...

How many volts is it? I might have a use for those controllers...

Most scooters of this type use two 12V gel-cells in series, i.e., 24V.
