World’s lightest electric scooter 800W
Brushless outrunner powered Razor scooter. 800W Rc aircraft motor, with 100A esc, 8:1 planetary gear reduction. This scooter weighs less than 10lbs without batteries, the motor on my 500W scooter weighs more than this. Motor is also highly efficient at all speeds unlike conventional e scooter motors. The noise is from the gearbox taken from a cordless power tool, the motor is very quiet. Scooter powered by 2 lead acid batteries in backpack which weigh 4.5kg each. hoping to add a battery box soon and fit ni-cd or li-po batteries when i can get some cheap. for more info visit http://www.evalbum.com/1464 for more info. thanks to slofly for the inspiration to build it.

That is really a kool scooter! But, I like gas scooters better, because you never need to charge them! But, I have to say, I had that exact scooter, and it worked perfectly! About 15 MPH. But I would recommend this scooter to a begginer “scooterist”. Gas scooters CAN BE DANGEROUS! So, watch out!

Unfortunately there is no parts list as this was a one off, this was built to show the amazing power of the tiny motor, check the web address in the description for pictures and more detailed info.

On the little scooter i was using 2 12v 12Ah lead acid, good for about 30mins riding, as for the motor, when put on the larger scooter it began to get hot, so i fitted a fan to cool it. The main thing to watch is the esc, i destroyed two of these due to overheating. the one i’m using now has the casing removed and a pc cpu heatsink and fan fitted, now it dosent even get warm. 800w is not the biggest motor out there, you will find 6kW,(6000w) if you look for them.

On the tiny scooter i clocked between 19 and 21mph(depending on battery charge) with a hand held GPS

The motor is stlill running, it has been fitted to a larger scooter, 200 x 50 wheels. As the tiny scooter was not very safe at full speed, and the acceleration tended to throw you off the back. The gearbox is single speed, it is very noisy and has been replaced by one from a petrol scooter (much quieter). As for heavy weightit can pull 2 adults up the steepest hills, only problem is battery range, riding full speed uphill uses lots of power.

how long batteries last?

Do those engines take alot of weight and last?

Awesome! :O 200×50 wheels sounds great. An off-road motor scooter, woo! Good luck with that, maybe see you on the park in the future hehe.
Thanks for your …
Thanks for your comment, glad you liked it. it is loads of fun, prettyscary though with such a short wheelbase. i’m fitting the motor on to a bigger scooter soon, with wheelss the same size as your mountainboard (200×50) should work off road then as well. I’ll have to bring it to wollaton and try it out, Cheers, Adam

2700W , wow i’d say around 40mph at least, if you had variable gears( 3 speed hub etc) probably 60mph on th straights. you wouldnt get much range though unless you had loads of li-po batteries £££££££££
Hey dude! Nice one …
Hey dude! Nice one haha, that looks awesome. I’m the guy you saw on the mountainboard today on Wollaton Park, happy times!
The place in this vid looks familiar, it looks a bit like Bilborough, I went to college there. Anyway, I reckon I’ll resist putting a motor on my board lol. Interesting that you put a RC aircraft motor on it, I wouldn’t have thought of that. Cheers!
Hey what about an …
Hey what about an eflight 2700w rc motor what speeds you rekon with this thing hah
Thank you, just …
Thank you, just need some ni-cd batteries soon to make it self contained i.e. no backpack. Its pretty scary to ride as the acceleration requires you to lean forward, or be thrown off, plus it has no brakes, good luck on your project. Adam
