It is always safer to ask an expert. If you have a friend who recently upgraded his electric scooter, then you should ask him as he has an interesting story to tell. You may also ask the sales guy in the store where you bought your scooter or you can search for online testimonies and threads.
Upgrading Tip #2: Do not make an upgrade mismatch and have a harmonious upgrade
In upgrading, you need to be familiar with three things:
-
Control Box
This part acts like a brain; it regulates the function of the electric scooter parts. It connects to the battery and motor. In case you’ve upgraded this part but becomes incompatible with the motor and the battery, then you might end up wasting your money. There are some popular brands in the market and you need to find the suitable control box for your electric scooter upgrade.
-
Motor
The motor should be compatible with the control box and battery, so it will function well. If it is not compatible, then you will end up with a short-circuit motor and again, a big waste of money.
-
Battery
You can’t just purchase any electric scooter battery; you need to take note of the voltage needed for your scooter. If you aim for higher performance, then you should contact your service provider for voltage specifications.
You can upgrade these things, but you need to make sure that they will work together. You also need to make sure that you will not have a mismatch or else you will just probably seeing your money wasted.
Upgrading Tip #3: Make a budget study
Make some budgeting analysis. Compute your material expenses, professional fees, and other expenses you may acquire. You can compare it with the price of buying a new one and selling your old one unless you want to keep the old one.
