I spent two Matlock episodes putting the throttle back on, and half an episode undoing parts to fix them proper.

OMG THIS THING IS SO MUCH FUN TO RIDE WITH THE THROTTLE! This time I fastened the seat down [I've been riding around with it loose coz I needed to see what kind of throttle connection it was and was far too lazy to put it back]

This is going to be hard to sell, if I even sell it. I'm gonna lend it to a friend's girlfriend who was thinking about getting one.

fuck i have far fewer friends than I just now realized.
SO I GUESS I WILL SPILL MY GUTS ALL OVER YOU FOLKS

Look at this beautiful, weird "half-size" bike! I bought it for a pretty decent 150! throttle is dead, and the battery indicator attached to the throttle is dead, but the key, which is hanging on to said throttle and indicator by two live wires, works! and unfortunately the previous owner never tested the pedal assist, which means: if you pedal, the motor will kick in and 'assist' you 1/2

I've ridden my scooter plenty of times since I last said I'll ride it stock for the last time. I've been busy with my budding social life!

Upon looking at some pics for my modding plans (patio is too far away for me to look XD) on the amazon website, they had some hokey looking video and my curiosity got the best of me.

AND THEN I NOTICED THIS.

The handlebars kept loosening on me coz I locked it with the tab on THE OPPOSING SIDE.

I was so angry at that and now I'm just laughing at myself.😂

just sold my first electric scoot.

The buyer seemed excited about it, esp. since the rear light stopped working on it when I used this for testing other controllers.

After several headaches, I got this to run the headlight as well as the rearlight at once, which is what the customer wanted.

Horn broke somehow, but whatever! I gave him a grace period. He gave me a 50 buck tip. I gave him the option to take the tip back XD

In further news: I got a brand new ride!

36v, but I bought this specifically because it has SUSPENSION and 14 in wheels, which means I can replace the drive wheel with MY drive wheel.

That is to say, a 350 watt hub motor with a 5,000 watt hub motor. right underneath the seat is a good spot for the new 72v battery, and the controller can go wherever.

This thing will hopefully be my new work commuter as it will save me 160 a month on gas, more or less.
