March 29, 200818 yr I know there is the Currie one,but has anyone built one using a scooter motor like the Unite one? Electric Scooter Motor 13.7 Amp - 250 Watt - 24 Volts on eBay, also Parts Accessories, Electric Scooters, Scooters, Sporting Goods (end time 02-Apr-08 19:11:54 BST) Are these motor's any good? What size would you need and what voltage? What are the advantages/disadvantages of chain drive? Thanks in advance for any help given!
March 29, 200818 yr The Currie one is the Unite motor now, they adopted it some while ago. Their previous motors had a chequered history, at first very powerful but prone to burning out, and even when toned down they overheated and had to have a huge finned heatsink added. Later they had a less powerful motor, but have finally settled on the Unite one with a minimal heatsink. .
