Video showing how I built my own electric scooter from scrap material and hoverboard parts.
With no engineering or electrical training whatsoever, im very pleased with the end result!
Skip to 17:30 for the finished scooter.
Reuse. Recycle.

Anybody considering copying this - don't use laptop cells, they are rated for 2C or typically 3 to 4 amps draw but the motor may take 15 to 20amps. Rescued lithium cells from 18 or 20volt power tools would be a good choice but you still need to match capacity with the rest of the hoverboard battery which will typically use 2ah or 2.2ah cells.

Looks great! The board is long and roomy , but why not extend the handlebars a little wider for a natural width? It would balance out the scooter with the longer deck. 👍🏼

Nice build! But i wouldn't recommend using laptop cells as a replacement as they are rated for low discharge current (around 1A) an could overheat and cause fire. Use powerdrill batteries instead
@poptartmcjelly7054
@poptartmcjelly7054 2 жыл бұрын
Laptop cells are rated for 2C. Most common cells are around 2200mAh so they can handle around 4.4A max continuous. Hoverboard motor power ranges from 150 to 350W, what our guy has here looks like a 250W motor. So with a 36V battery that would mean around 7-8A max, which is less than the 8,8A that two parallel laptop cells can supply. I still wouldn't recommend using laptop cells because salvaged cells rarely have full capacity. Also the cells in the pack might no longer be balanced in terms of capacity. But the guy made a pretty cool thing and now has something to improve, which is good.

@@willememmens9106 No, u can not do that. Do some research on the theme, i can not really explain more than this next few things: They will work on void, when there is no torque. ( so it will not work once u put it in the ground ) When there is a disturbance in one of the two motors, the controller will stop due to errors. And this errors will cause the motors to stop after a few seconds due to the controller not receiving the same magnetic electric charge.

Did you wired the charger port directly to the battery output ? I asked about this lately and everybody told me to not use hoverboard battery and not to charge it directly without overcharge and undercharge protections and a bms circuit. But i guess the circuit in the battery pack includes them all, right?

@@nuggetczsk This has less range and no power to go up a ramp. It's a diy scooter. Can't expect much from it. And it's also not worth the effort, money and time invested in it. If you are good with electronics, you can buy some iphones 6 with broken glass, replace the original screen with chinese screen, also, buy some broken hooverboards, fix them, sell them and make 300 euros to buy a proper scooter. Or get a summer job at mcdonalds, make money and buy one of those long range powerful motors scooter. ✌️🛴

Basically any switch will work on that method cuz these controller most of them use low brake levels wish works in the 4v or 5v system when u hit the "swtich" the brake it goes down to 0v and the controller sends message to the motor to brake. To Clarify Think about it as 2 cables + and - when u hit the switch the cables connect 0v and scooters brake.
