How do I do RC Car circuit modification?




I want build an rc car from scratch (sort of). I bough a 24V 350W DC motor that was on an electric scooter. Ha! I will buy the receiver, a radio controller, and some sort of frame. I just want to know how I should modify or recreate the circuit board. Also, what type of battery string(s) should I have connected? I guess I need some sort of speed controller.
Anybody out there?

I’m selling a whole bunch of stuff on ebay so i can get a razor e200 electric scooter or an osm pair of aggressive roller blades. I know the roller blades will work good but im not to sure about the scooter. The main reason i want either of these is to get around. What do u think i should get. Thanks

I’ve taken my scooter for a couple of trips across the city (15+ miles each way) and now I want to take it on a small road trip. It only does 25-30 mph max, but the gas mileage isn’t bad. The problem is that it is a lower quality scooter. I’ve noticed that at around 1/2 a tank, it powers down and loses some umph. I want to keep a gallon of gas or so on hand just in case. Any suggestions on how to (Safely) do this?
Is it legal to ride on the 95 or 15?

Can I ride my motorized scooter?




I am 13 years old and I bought a motorized scooter that goes 35 miles per hour (that’s what the seller said). Can I ride it in the bike lane? Can I even ride it?! Do I need to register it? Do I need a license to ride of some type?

As you can see I have a lot of questions and it would be nice if you guys answered them.

I used to scooter a lot, and I was really good but for some reason I stopped. I was always under the weight limit for a scooter but now i’m not, in fact i’m about 21 pounds over the weight limit. I wanna get back into scootering, so I wanna know if the weight limit really applies.

This is just to lighten up the mood in here a bit:

What were his parents thinking, to name him such a name?
Don’t they know that kids are cruel to kids who aren’t the same?
"Rufus" by itself is bad, his middle name is worse:
"Edgar" - a name for a grandpa. Together, his name made a curse.
"Rufus Edgar" - there’s a name that just screams "Beat me up!"
So Rufus picked a nickname that wasn’t so corrupt.
"Call me Scooter" Rufus said, before the kids could start.
Call him "Scooter" those kids did, and warmed the teacher’s heart.
She’s so glad she never had to break up any fights.
All the kids are Scooter’s friends - except the girl who bites.
She’s not friends with anyone who doesn’t take a hint.
They tease her badly, for her name, no joke,
is Ella Fent.

Now tell me that didn’t make you smile!
Before my mom got her highschool teaching certification, she taught at a pre-school, and there was a little boy there who left her completely knackered by the end of the day. His name was Rufus Edgar, but he walked in on the first day of school, stuck out his little hand for my mom to shake, and declared, "Call me Scooter!"

This poem is the result.
I realize the rhyming is a little loose, as is the phrasing, but I love the rythm. I like the way it just "trots" along.

Where to get a motor bike serviced in Sydney?




I’ve got a Honda CBR250RR, just wondering if anyone know a good place where I can take it to get new tyres and a general service in Sydney Australia. Thanks.

I am modifying a schwinn S-1000 electric scooter, so the manuel will not help me decide.
It runs off 36v, and that’s all that matters, the amp hour rating doesn’t mean anything.
Doing this will lengthen the range but also the charge time.
Im planning on keeping the 36v, but changing it from 10ah to 12 or 14ah.
Any advice?

SO I was thinking it would be cool to have a small vehicle that would be maybe a couple HP. I understand that this will be no walk in the park and will probably take me a year anyway but any help that could get me started on learning how to build stuff with an engine/motor would help. Also has anyone had any experiences with this?

PS: I could probably get welders and stuff, I have some tools myself.
