    [Noobie] First step to Lipo

    Yes, I'm actually changing all the connectors, now I'm changing the ones from the battery to match the one from the scooter. Ok, time to reduce the size of the battery cable to fit it to the connector :)

    [Noobie] First step to Lipo

    Yeah, these scooters look fun. But they weight... around 35 kg or more!! Can't carry them ;) I'm now stuck on the lipo, I tried to solder the connector but it seems that my connector is too small? On the right the lipo cable and on the left the connector.

    [Noobie] First step to Lipo

    The batteries have been removed but it should be working with the new one. It's a second hand scooter, he kept his batteries and it's better for me to have new batteries anyway. Also, I just figured a way to connect the battery to the charger: Do you think it's right? ps: I'm not sure about...

    Is my disc rotator bent?

    Andrew, thanks for this very insightful comment. It seems so simple why didn't I think about it? I'm going to use a wrench or a plier to bend it to the right direction, rather than using my hand. I don't think I'll remove the wheel because the motor is on the same place. Will certainly try to...

    Newbie - How to plug a wattmeter to my bike?

    Just checked my wattmeter, I'll need some precision tool to open it. I'm going to check on ebay if I can find something cheap. Otherwise, I suppose I wouldn't loose too much power with that? You said for you it wasn't noticeable?

    Newbie - How to plug a wattmeter to my bike?

    Ok thanks. I'm going to solder that then. I hope it won't be too hard to desolder that later when needed. Do you use any type of holder on the handle bar for that?

    Newbie - How to plug a wattmeter to my bike?

    hmm... any cables can be used? I don't need any thick one? And for the plug, is there something that could just be "plug and play"? I prefer not to solder. Also, do you use any specific tool to attach your wattmetter to your bike?
