So I' m going to start designing a electric scooter to help me get around (cause i cant afford are car )
I will be ether recording or documenting everything so others can replicate this if they would like.
So to start these are the requirements i have for the scooter.
Main requirements
-Must be able to reach 20 mph (at max load if possible)
-Must be able to carry a minimum of 250 Lb (this does not include the weight of the scooter)
-maximum length of 42" long (106.68 cm)
-Must have a minimum range of 8 miles (with all the accessory powered on)
-"fast charging" (has to take no longer than 1 hour to fully charge (this can be up for debate))
Secondary requirements
-Screen that reads out speed and battery life (no idea what type of screen)
-Some type of input to adjust settings (whether that is a touch screen, or buttons)
-removable seat (just a basic bike seat)
-Must fold down to take on the bus (when the seat is not attached)
-Assorted Lights ruining off the main battery (things like headlight(high and low beams if possible), brake lights, and turn signals)
-must use a key to turn on
-"All terrain" (mostly gravel and light snow)
This is just a small brain storming list.
This is a link to a google doc that i will update as i work on this project. ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Cst2...sp=sharing )
I want to try and finish it over the winter so i can use it during the summer
I would love help with this project
Best ways to help-
-Sending links to Tools and materials/other items needed for this build
-Any technical know how
-most anything else that you might think is useful
