I've been trying to run my scooter motors on 24v., Which they
are designed to run.
But the power is just too much.
I'm going to try running them on 12v. which responds and moves much
better too me.
I'm going to order 2- 12v. 22amp batteries after the holidays and wire
them for 12v.
These batts should give me enough run time even though it will be 12v.
I have some emails out concerning the motors.
I don't want to damage the motors are run them too hot, So when the emails
return I'll let everyone know what I've learned.

Merry Christmas calvin...It will be interesting to find out what your emails will say. I have been running my 24v motors on 12v for the past few events with no signs of stress. I have just 1 silly question Calvin. Have you been hooking up 24v to each motor totaling 48v for both?
Thomas
Merry Xmas to you too!!!!
No I have 1 set of batts for 24v. running both feet and it was just too much.
I did get my emails back and they were positive.
Running the motors on 12v. is no problem, They just said not to go over 24v. Which I already knew that.
The only difference with 12v. is you won't have as much pulling power as with 24v. and that's what I need.

I see your problem. Is it possible to convert downward your 24v batt's to 20v or 18v while keeping the amps the same? That should give you the needed power and better control.
Thomas
I cold use 3 6v. batts and have
18v. But these guys said that with the 12v. setup I may actually gain some runtime, Just less torgue.
I drove R2 around the front room and it was much smoother on 12v.
and still had plenty of go power.
I found some 12v. 22ah batts I want to get that are the same size as the 12v. 20ah.
Wiring those together should give me a long lasting 12v. source.
