I was doing technical support on the phone and found this while searching for a customer. http://members.westnet.com.au/page3/picaxe-08m_electric_bike.htm
Remember back when I posted that neat push scooter from Maker Faire. Well, this scooter is the same but electric!
That is a 24V 500W DC motor.
Those are two 12 Volt 26Ah SLA in series for 24V total.
Here is the first model he built. It looks more like the one from Maker faire.
That is a 24 VDC, 18 Amp, 450 Watt DC motor. It has a 4.t:1 ratio so the RPM is around 550.
This is something I would love to build. Yeah more stable at high speed and can handle turns better. It would not be that hard to modify my existing scooter to something like this.
