      the "make good use of what's there between them" approach was great, it definitely needs a better ESC setup. with the "use existing stuff!" approach, I'd stick with the chainsaw battery (is it 3S or 4S and who cares?) and put a smaller sprocket on the rear wheel to give it more top speed... before ever trying to take it into higher voltages, because reliability. not knocking you or your generous offer one little bit, its just my opinion of how to stay with the project theme. the other option is maybe ditch the second reduction box and slap a larger sprocket on the rear wheel... I do kinda think it should top out at 22-25 mph so its fun.

      @@modelnutty6503 well I'm pretty sure they bought the chainsaw for the project, so there's that. The battery is 60V max so likely 15-16S. Not horrible and it can be adapted for other 48v controllers (which max at 60v). The chainsaw kit they have is $215, which is a lot. A 2010 motor capable of up to 10kW with a 1.5kW controller is $100. Another $100 for some more batteries and they'll have a much better performance drivetrain.5

    If it's a DC motor you can solder a diode between the electrical contacts on the outside to let the motor freewheel forward when you let off the throttle instead of stopping dead like that.
    Make sure the current and voltage rating on the diode meets or exceeds the current and voltage rating on the motor.
    If it just doesn't run when you hit the throttle you've soldered it on backwards.

    I like it! Needs a better throttle though, and probably an engine built for more load than a chainsaw typically runs under. If nothing else delete the safety switch that kills it when you hit a bump, but if you do that you’ll probably just burn that motor out. Try a spin cycle from a washer! Those move heavy weight clothes at a high rpm for nice durations
