I have a electric scooter similar to this.The dimensions of the e-scooter are very suitable for driving around in city traffic but the hub motor<\/strong><\/a> is too whimpy. It is about 350 watts and I…well, shall we say that I weigh a bit more than the average Chinese person, and I often carry large boxes of things that really dog the bike down. I want to replace the present 48v motor with a 48v 1000w motor. I will be in the US next week, so I can pick it up then and bring it back. The wheel size is 16″. I want to be able to put disc brakes on the rear, as well as a sprocket to mount the chain on the left side. I also hope that I can mount 3″ tires on it. Do you have such a thing? Can you conversion kits be mounted on a 16″ rim? I also need a controller for the motor and hope to find one that regen capability, cruise control and reverse.<\/p>\n
