- In this episode I'll show you how to take a broken (or working) electric scooter and convert it to a lithium system so it can go 50% faster for 3-4 times as long.
You can find more details on my instructables where there is information on how to make that battery harness I used.

As always, the materials used can be found on my Astore astore.amazon.com/instructab01...
Ótima adaptação , like !
All the connections are unique
make sure you use the right amp rated power leads when you upgrade your batterie
Wow, so glad I found this!
This is brilliant! I am trying to wire new batteries for my grandson's razor scooter and I hate those Lead-acid batteries. I have these same batteries I use Ryobi 18 V always. I don't have your expertise, however. Good Job!
I read your instructions.
The 24V stock controller will not get burnt if batteries are 36V Lithium with stock motor? besides low voltage cut off is too low.
the bar that went accross the lead acid batteries, was only there to make sure they didnt bounce around, you dont need it :) Great Job man!

How much on those batteries? How fast did it go?
More light needed on subject, also a better explanation of wiring on ion battery paks at end of video. Can u make another video?
is there anyway u can help me with my project? i have a satellite someone gave me with one batery buy i dint see no controller its a mess cables are cut throtle has 2 wires coming out, bat has 2, reset button has 2 also and charger port has 2 also its an easy fix i just need guidance is there anyway we can comunicate? ill appreciate the help
Hello thanks for sharing this video I appreciate that keep on doing a good job and keep on posting it did you have to upgrade the control box or it's runs on 36 volt please let me know thanks because I don't want to put 36 volt on mine and and blew it up
Wow! A whole big long sentence!
So in the end it did not work as intended? ( Torque not better, connections melting and very short run time compared with two good quality lead-Acid)
Thank you for posting this video I tryed it it goes faster now

bro what was the battery you used to replace the old ones

What model is that is it an e100 or something? I really need to know that one has an especially large motor in it
How long do the batteries last
This the exact video that I’m looking for. I got an e750 with dead batteries in an almost brand new condition with the 24v system for $30. I have the some makita 18v batteries, kobalt 24v and echo 58v and ego 56v. Do you know that is the maximum voltage the system can handle? Looks like your system is 36v without changing anything. I see some other people do 48v with changing the controller. Thanks for sharing the information.
If you keep the stock brushed motor, stay 36V. I have burned out an E200 250W motor running 48V with lipos. The motor still works but the plastic/fiberglass that holds the brushes is straight up black and crispy.
@@lmaomarine do you know why your motor burnt? The motor can be overvolt but you need to match the controller's voltage and max wattage below what the max motor watt (amp) can handle
Since you added an extra battery making it 36V can you use a 24V charger to charge 36V battery?
No, the charger has to be the right one for the batteries, that part is very finicky and not forgiving to mistakes. Using the right charger for the batteries is important.
cool stuff

Can anyone help me, I have a Volt XT2 Scooter I need a new battery but I also want to make it abit speedier can anyone help me so this thanks
Hi, I can't find your instructions regarding the battery pack build.
www.instructables.com/id/Using-Ryobi-Powertool-Batteries-for-Other-Projects/
If you cut the wires on the battery at different lengths they can't short.
Ok took me till 6.55 to realise that his " Slippers " were actually knee pads 🤦♂️ in my defense he's wearing pj bottoms 🤷🏻♂️. Anyways really informative video just what I've been looking for 👍
All the connector are different, they can't be mixed up
Did you ever do a follow up to this?
No, it worked and I made myself a compact lifepo4 pack, but now I'm selling my ebike parts and want to build a super compact kick scooter from scratch down the road.
I blown my scotter up when I pulled out my charger how much damage is it done
Its fckt
What is the model of it?
Nowadays power tool batteries are more expensive than a li-ion pack u can buy ready made.
If my current e-trike project works out next i wanna make an e-scooter. Would be perfect to throw in the car on vacation and use that to zip around.
Confusing wiring, you should give a wiring diagram.
Why did you go with an external battery pack instead of internal? Edit: nevermind, I just read your instructable haha.
+Emily McDonald Hehe, awesome :)

Why didn’t you just unplug the batteries from the spade connectors on the tops of the batteries?
I know right?? That was my plan
I think he didnt do it because it was common sense to do it... and that would actually make sense
Because the battery terminals are soldered on. I know, I have one.
@@MrKittykat111 That is impossible!
If you soldered the battery's terminals, how could you change batteries? That is to assume the batteries never die and never need to be changed. Any sensible manufacturer will never make such assumption.
@@VRUAN The solder is added because the connection needs to carry a high current. I had to de-solder the terminals on mine to replace the batteries.
did you modify the 24v controller?
Delmer Larson nope, as explained in the video you can generally push controllers up a voltage step (at your own risk if course).
Makin'Things thanks. I'll give it a go.

@@Making I did the same mod running two 20v power tool battery for a total of 40v without a fuse. I am having a problem of it shutting off after about 1 and half minute of continuous riding. The after allowing it to rest for 1 minute it works again. Is this happening because of the absence of the fuse? Thank you
That sounds like a thermal shutoff to me
put a 15 tooth small gear on motor
700th SUBSCRIBER!
Never mind you just lost like 30 subs
Lmao! I don't know how you saw 700, but my dashboard shows around 670, either way, thanks for the good laugh man! XD
I need an answer to this, is there any chances to get an electric shock?
Skin will resist voltages of up to roughly 50-60v (hence why in house low voltage is 52v such as for telephone lines and power over Ethernet). Your personal body chemistry and sweatyness will change your resistance, I once got a shock from a phone outlet for example, but most days, I don't get shocked by them. Long story short, these things run well under 50v, so just don't short the battery because that will make sparks and those sparks are hot.
Makin'Things ok but mine is 250w
Watts are a measure of power, not voltage. It's likely 12v of 24v.
Makin'Things ok!
No problem! Make sure you figure out the battery voltage before you replace it to make sure you don't burn out your controller. Also, don't use the same charger if you use a different type of battery!
Que alguien publique problemas de scooterE90 por favor
I have razor e prime air folding electric scooter and after month usage I loose power that probably is battery fault?
When is some bumps on road then acsualy it's stop driving.
Does it have to be free
Yes, otherwise it catches on fire.
I paid 40 for mine.. I personally wouldnt pay over 50$ thats pushing it.. if your gonna do mods theres no point... People sale them all cheap. What ive noticed is some mods will cost u over 100$ and under $200 which is the cost of a new scooter.. Heck honsetly im as of yet im not even sure if its worth the mod.
Now put a power saw motor in it, then it will be a deathtrap!
can it really go 50km..?! As 20km 150% faster is 50km.. That's really fast for a scooter! Also is that with stock motor and stock speed controller/main board!?
+JAM lol, no I meant 150% of the original speed.
+JAM yeah that was a mistake, fixing it :p
ok np, was gonna say!

The batteries in these things are super easy to replace
+N for Noah... Yeah so you missed the point, but it's okay, A for effort.
I bought new batteries for my grandsons scooter and it still doesn't run, what's up
motor burned out, the copper wired=s inside because of over volting it, classis on these small electric motors
The other thing is crimp connections and a machine like that is not very good all connection should be soldered
De see

I see one thing you doing wrong is never want to put a lead acid battery on cement floor
Why?
Never? There’s no reason for it but you shouldn’t store it on cement for discharge purposes but certainly you can put a lead acid battery on a cement floor.
That's not true anymore.
@@garyhgaryh This is incorrect information. www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/general-science-you-asked/concrete-truth-about-batteries-stored-concrete
i got mine free in the trash.
I completely messed up my scooter, thanks for nothing, you never said what you did, and now thanks to you scooter is garbage
