Motor installed

Here is how it looks all assembled. I had no real problems when I assembled it. Everything fit perfectly!

After testing the scooter, I realise that this beefy motor bracket acts has a heat shrink! I was amazed to see that the heat was transfert to the side of the scooter, I remember the first time I touch the side, it was pretty warm. This pretty good new. I am also planning to have a fan attach to the motor to give better cooling. I am making some fan design to test it out.

The motor bracket

To install the motor to my frame, I need a beefy bracket to hold that 2HP motor. I took a scrap piece of 2″x2″ 1/4inch aluminum plate. I made some drawing in autocad to have my template and start drilling my bracket.

A little bit of milling to make every straight.

The 4 screws are the original one that came with the motor. I really need to put some “loctite” so the motor does not fall. Vribation is your ennemy!

Next time, I will test the autocad file on cardboard before making the real part. The mounting hole are not perfectly aligned.
