Exellent information! Yesterday I beefed up my Lifan E3 controller following your instructions. The result is much better acceleration. Bye bye warranty ;)

[@tmatheson]

You should have checked the resistance of the shunt before you modified it. For one it gives you a control unit and you can revert it back if needed.

[@MonkeyUK.]

The mosfit will just go & will go wide open but u no that probably or found it out. But your soldering skills are amazing bro hat off to u sir

[@brucecampbellforpresident1393]

This was class man class.✌️ But your soldering skills are painful to see .

[@lionelbotbol9130]

Great tutorial. Could someone tell me where the controller is coming from ? is it the small box on the wheel or its the actual controller in the body of the scooter near the battery ?

[@liaqatszabo3839]

The speed controller is in the Scooter body you mostlikely know by now though🤣

[@markwhitfield5412]

current will only help touque, voltage will help speed, ie add another 12v battery ie:24v to 36v. then u kinda run into burning up the controller, so best bet is to buy a 36v controller and add another battery.keeping the same motor (24v).

[@Shaunmuk]

Ive got a rascal vortex 2023 8mph scooter can i make it faster ie remove sny speed limiter on it??very grateful for help or advice budd

[@michaelcavanagh7231]

I like your style is there any danger that disken damage the motor and approximately how much extra speed do you think you can get

[@gordonagent7037]

Hi, I really appreciated the info and video, great visual aid and explanation. Do all controller modules look similar, I have a rhino 160A controller on my mobility scooter, can I expect similar circuitry when I open that up? Also, I noted a few comments below, do you still feel your mods are safe. Many thanks

[@markanthony5897]

No

[@markanthony5897]

This man is not to be trusted.

[@Skrek1988]

i would not go with tips from this guy in the video no his mods is not safe. all u can do is program controller to get more speed or if it dont have speed limit up the voltage and u will get more speed tho u should look up what all components on ur controller can handle and always go with a little bit less dont push the maximum limit if u want it to holdup..

[@kurtrehse2985]

I added a battery to a swagger5. I pulled apart the speed controller after watching this video and my controller looks a lot more technical. It even has a computer chip in it. No mosfets. It would be nice to be able to get more speed. I’ve got the amp/hrs to handle. Many times while riding the scooter it will max the speed then I feel it back down and then I go 1 to 2 mph slower. The cruise control helps as if I can get it maxed long enough it will hold that speed. Manual without cruise usually encourages the artificial speed reduction. Anyway I’d like to do like I saw on this vid. Maybe I need a bigger controller. I’m afraid of the wiring of a new controller as I’m sure colors don’t all line up. 300w 36v. Batteries 2 - 12a/h . 24a/h total. Max speed right now 16mph at best. Thank you. I appreciate videos like this!

[@MADMODS]

sounds like you need a new speed controller to get a bit more speed out of it if it's even possible to swap the speed controller out. sounds like a complex bit of kit. this how to is just for cheap Chinese scooters. sorry I can't help with yours.

[@kentaltobelli1840]

Check out the VESC to replace your existing ESC (about $100)

[@battletoad01]

No mosfetts? I think your looking at a stepdown transformer. That regulates the voltage down to 12v for the lights

[@omgitzhaze]

Will this method work for a 60v scooter?

Very helpful video. Thanks #MAD MODS

[@Sterlingracing15]

I have a 24v mobility scooter and am looking to bypass the speed controller. What do you suggest. The circuit board is a ‘dynamic controls DR50’

[@MADMODS]

I'm not sure on that scooter but the ones I've worked on the motor and 24v from the batteries is normally what gives you the top speed and the controller is just feeding the power in slowly and switching it for reverse and doing other bits like the lights. the gearing or increasing the voltage to spin everything faster is the way to go faster and a higher wattage controller for acceleration. I'm going to get hold off another mobility scooter and try a load of bits out on it to see what works and what doesn't for speed and acceleration.

Modding the shunts by adding more soldier to it definitely works. I did it. But only put a small amount of soldier like a blob but I’m gonna add some more I think 🤔

[@aqib2000]

Thick head bypassing the shit definitely works

[@battletoad01]

@@troop8829 10% at a time. Too much will blow the controller. Also why does noone mention draining the caps? And yes it does add speed by adding amps. Sometimes its quiet a bit sometimes its not. More modern controllers with lcd displays can be adjusted with the throttle i just did this on my titan pro it runs a tf 200 lcd throttle not sure if it will make a difference yet. Il let u know. I also beefed up all the solder. Not something i suggest if hour not good at soldering. This can very easily fry your controller. Especially adding as much as this guy. Dont do that. Another thing with upping the voltage is you need higher voltage capacitors those are usually right on the threshold

Looking at the two capacitors on the board, I could only make out that they were rated for 50v but wanted to know how many uf they were. My 24v controller came with 63v 430uf caps. I was wondering if swapping them out for 1000-1500uf caps would be of any benefit or even harmful???

[@MADMODS]

not much point there just to smooth out the switching of the mosfets and buffer the voltage. thay do nothing for the speed of the scooter

[@milestone_achiever4634]

Is it OK too run a 1000w controller on a 500w battery?? Any ideas please. Thanks.

[@MADMODS]

Batterys dont work in Watts do you mean the current speed controller is 500 watts and you want to use a 1000watts one. Yea a battery is calculated in amps and volts so you need to do the calculation on how many amps the 1000w controller will uses to determine how long the battery will last I'm guessing half the range it dose on 500watts. What batteries are you currently using?

[@c.jack3314]

@@MADMODS I've done a mobility scooter conversion with a 36v 16Ah battery with smart bms. I'm not 100% sure on what the cells are exactly if I'm honest but yes, I wanna change the 500w controller too 1000w controller. I was just curious if it would be OK to do that.

[@MADMODS]

@@c.jack3314 yes I'm not sure how the motor will take the extra power. The battery is most likely lithium ion if it's not lead acid the battery maximum output is 16ah meaning 16amps a hour until flat so the range will be a lot less but unlikely to be on full throttle all the time tho. Its hard to say how the motor will take it but the batterys should be fine.

That's not going to work for brushless controllers oh, that's just for regular DC brushed controllers.

[@MADMODS]

No brushless use 3phase and the controller is not modifiable you just need a bigger amperage speed controller or be able to over clock the motor timing to get it to go faster or accelerate faster depinning on how you tune the motor timing. Standard dc motor put in more voltage gets faster but hotter. Brushless is a bit more tricky due to 3 phase but can still take more voltage but doesn't always go faster. A better speed controller and motor if you want more speed with brushless or a speed controller that handles more amps mite help. Hope all that made sense any other questions just ask.👍
