This is the second scooter I have built, obviously I love them but the ones on the market are not for me.
This is a Globe3T full suspension downhill scooter. I purchased it off Pinkbike out of the whistler ski area. (You can’t buy these in the US they are French) Globe has started to make electric scooters but none this powerful. It is 2 wheel drive powered by 2 all axel hub motors both with statorade and dual phase runner controllers, 1 throttle.
I run 3000 watts in the rear and 2000 in the front. I know 5000 watts would never be condoned by Grin, but this really works. The amazing thing is with 2 motors and the lightness of the build, nothing gets hot?!? It’s faster than a modded Sur Ron, and the best part about it is the absolute silent running.
The battery is a special 72 volt 140 amp continuous discharge custom build 12 amp hour. This build is thirsty so I only get maybe 15 Miles on a charge. I have been playing with the phase runner suite tuning on this all the time. I am experimenting with virtual free wheeling on the front trying to get it set up to switch from 2 wheel drive to 1 wheel drive to increase range.
I have the scooter limited to 46mph, It accelerates like a bat out of hell and climbs all hills. With 2 motors even at slow speed the torque is incredible making technical riding easy. The All-Axle motors are light and the handling is amazing. The build was simple, I did have to mill down the fat tire adapter in the rear to get the correct spacing. Build is about 60 pounds. Lastly, unlike all other small wheel scooters, this thing really shines off road. My buddies ride sur-Rons and they barely hang with me, and I get none of the negative attention they do.
I really think I might have the baddest, fastest, stealthiest Grin-powered vehicle on the road? Prove me wrong? It’s dirty because i ride it constantly!!!!
