DIY Electric Scooter From Scrap Hoverboard Build Tutorial

Video showing how I built my own electric scooter from scrap material and hoverboard parts.

With no engineering or electrical training whatsoever, im very pleased with the end result!

Skip to 17:30 for the finished scooter.

Reuse. Recycle.

Why anyone would dislike this awesome video is unbelievable to me and a insult to themselves.

*Battery life is great **Latest.Bike** Scooter . Love the different driving modes. It’s got a little headlight and taillight too. Gets lots of looks haha*

You've done a really good job there.

Anybody considering copying this - don't use laptop cells, they are rated for 2C or typically 3 to 4 amps draw but the motor may take 15 to 20amps. Rescued lithium cells from 18 or 20volt power tools would be a good choice but you still need to match capacity with the rest of the hoverboard battery which will typically use 2ah or 2.2ah cells.

Looks great! The board is long and roomy, but why not extend the handlebars a little wider for a natural width? It would balance out the scooter with the longer deck. 👍🏼

Please do a diy video on converting a knee scooter into a seated electric scooter. Please pretty please! I’ll bet you’ll go viral!

Nice build! But i wouldn't recommend using laptop cells as a replacement as they are rated for low discharge current (around 1A) an could overheat and cause fire. Use powerdrill batteries instead

ill never build this, just interesting to watch

Man nice work!
You only showed cheap scooters and saying that they are expensive.. 😄 the expensive ones are totally worth the money, especially the ninebots, you can get a used one for under 400 euros

[gerardochavez]

I wish things were that cheap in the USA 🇺🇸

[bryceboland]

Can we get a top speed on this? I’ve seen a lot of people use a different battery to get higher amps to the motor how does the hoverboard battery do?

[iPhoneFactoryYT]

get a swagtron t6 hoverboard then get 2 400w e-bike motors and swap

Great video! Thanks to share. One question. Where do you connect the brake wire? Big thanks!
