Decided that I've gone long enough without being mobile so a friend is building me some transport

Chassis under re-construction, he still can't get the dam tracking right



Well it's got a motor, gearbox, diff and a wheely bar

Well we are using 2 x 12v 17 amp hour batteries so I think about 8mph

My friend coundn't sleep this morning so got up way early and did some more chassis work

[ianjpage]

looking good!!

That is freaking sweet, you need to do something to it to give it a boost though dude.

I don't know if it would work but I suggest a fully charged 2 Farad capacitor connected to the electric motor via a switch.

Presumably when you flick the switch the capacitor would discharge straight into the motor making it melt go faster

[EDGE]

1 farad caps can be had for £20 but you'd need a way of charging it seperately.. do able but complex and extra weight..

I once met a guy who raced these, he had a "battery bank" under his, and it went like a WHIPPET i tell thee....

Looks like a shoprider to me, let me know if you need any spares.

As for trying to get more speed forget it, unless your going to sewap out all the control gear there is nothing you can do to make these mobility scooters faster.

Some of the older ones were limited to 14mph but all modern ones are restricted to 8mph

It's a Ranger and if I can remember which wires go where, it should be back together and running this weekend

Ah a pride ranger, no problem with parts for that seeing as my dad supplies them.

Looks like it has the wrong wheels though as from memory it should have 13,650x6 which is a turf tyre

Had no idea Mate, if I'd known I'd have spoken to you first

[55starchief]

I thought some one on here might have said something they have a 15,000sqft warehouse that carries over 70,000 spare parts for the mobility industry
