    Tony iv just bought a zero 10x adult electric scooter with dual 1000w motors and my god man it's Brilliant . The only down side is that it has a single handle bar stem and if your at speed and want to break fast the front suspension relaxes and the steering stem flexes iv always got it in my head that I'm going over the handle bar . If you're going to get an upgrade then look for something with a double handlebar stem they are a lot safer . Any hoo I'm glad that you are enjoying life on this Beautiful planet 👍 keep up the good work .

    For a cheap project, you can look at a Razor Pocket Mod scooter. It does not have suspension but it does have 10" bicycle style wheels. You could probably retrofit a suspension fork if the larger diameter wheels aren't enough. It's also a sit down scooter so one hand riding is possible for short stretches on flat ground. Lastly, there are cheap 1,800 watt brushless motors that you can hack in to them and plenty of space for a 48v lithium battery.

    Hey Tony.. I'd like to make a battery I can remove from my m365 and use on an ebike and swap as needed with some sort of clip in design maybe something like drill batteries use.. as I want to use the battery on an ebike as well and alot of ebike motors are rated at 48v (I want a mid drive bafang) ideally it would be 13s.. do you think the m365 can handle that as I have read mixed opinions, especially with regent, also if I did for a similar battery setup to you with 12s and upgraded mosfets and traces what top speed could I expect? many thanks great vids and info.. 👍
