![]() ![]() Overvolting an electric scooter or bike motor creates a circumstance where the motor produces more heat than it is designed to dissipate. I am aware that some later version Currie controllers did have an overvoltage shutdown feature and could not be overvolted. ![]() It will of course go faster than that when traveling downhill though. So the top speed of an unmodified eZip 1000 scooter should be limited to 15 MPH. In my experience, I also had a Schwinn Missile FS that ran on 24 volts -400 watts and it seemed to have much better performance even with a 200 Lb rider.īack when Currie made electric scooters they limited the top speed of them to 15 MPH for product liability insurance reasons. The Currie E zip has an advertised top speed of 17 -19 Mph. Would this be a more advisable approach ? I am only hoping to achieve a modest increase in speed to 20-22 MPH. I have seen Universal 24, 36, 48, 60 volt controllers advertised along with 3 pin hall-effect throttles. I have also read that most of the later model Currie Controllers lock out voltages above the rated specs and will not function. He claims to have used the OEM controller and throttle (?) I would like to do the same but I do not want to burn up the 36 volt controller especially since they are 59.00 to replace. There is a YouTube video that depicts someone doing this with the Schwinn Stealth 1000. I was hoping to increase the performance by over-volting the 1000 watt motor by running it on 48 volts. rated batts, I can expect to operate the scoot for 25 minutes. According to your web page battery calcuator running a 1000 watt motor on flat ground using a 36 volt battery pak with 10 amphr. I have ordered a new set of SLA Batts for the E Zip. I have seen them advertised for 20 bucks each.įollowing up on my battery load condition. The batts currently in the scoot are label Mighty Max. How does one differentiate a good battery from a "so-so" battery. There are so many factors that impact SLA battery life to begin with. Why are some being sold for 24 bucks and other brands 35? Typically, the more expensive ones boast a 1 yr guarantee but after paying the extra ten bucks for each battery- you could easily buy a 4th or 5th battery for the same amount. Does anyone recommend a particular brand? They are all made in China using the same materials, etc. In the meantime- I am looking for suggestions- possibly buying three new 12 V 12 AHM batteries. I have not re-assembled because I decided to install a new tire before re-installing in the frame. ![]() I took the entire assembly apart and cleaned and lubricated all parts looking for mechanical parasitic drag form a bad bearing, or dragging disc brake pad. The results were essentially the same Moderate RPM without the lag in spooling. I suspected a bad Hall-sensor in the throttle and tried running the motor directly from the Battery Pak. Turning on the power switch and operating at full throttle resulted in very slow to moderate RPM of the rear wheel. I Checked the Master connection and it measured 39.1 volts. I checked them with Multi Meter and each Batt measured 12.5 volts. The seller advised the Batteries were a year old but still held full charge. It is 36 volt with the Direct Drive Motor. I recently picked up a used Currie E Zip 1000. ![]()
