Not your typical Razor E300

Back when I was 7 years old, I got a Razor E200 for my birthday from Canadian Tire. After many years of collecting dust and the first COVID summer, I decided I would mod it. I chose a 250W motor from AliExpress and a friend of mine that was working for Rocky Mountain back then told me about Grin. He supplied me with a battery he had laying around. I pushed 1000W into that poor motor for a long time (it is still running after 4 years with that amount of power!) and managed to reach 45 km/h.
However, I wanted (and still want!) to go faster. I found a non functionning E300 on Marketplace for almost nothing and this was mandatory in order to put a larger motor (1000W from AliExpress once again). No CycleAnalyst on my scooters, but I don't have a need for one at the moment with only a regen and throttle lever both which are connected via JST to my v3 Baserunner L10. That regen is so smooth and I was in the game long before Apollo which introduce the "first" regen with their City 2022. Programming the throttle curve in the Phaserunner suite makes this DIY scooter so much smoother than any high end scooter I tried (Phantom v2, VSETT 10+, Mercane Widewheel, etc) the fact that it's a FOC based on torque makes the acceleration so smooth!
The biggest change was really making that custom battery (more info below). I can't describe how sketchy it is to ride a scooter made for kids with 8" wheels without suspension (check the Youtube link) but this is sooooo fun! People don't understand how I can fly on such a small scooter going twice as fast as Ninebots. They are still a lot to improve, but I go to work each day alternating between the E200 and E300 and because of that frame rigidity, they are basically undestroyable!

Custom battery
With the help of friend who as a KWeld, I designed the most efficient shape for a custom 48V battery pack. It's made with LG MJ1 cells arranged in a 13S4P config with a 40A continuous Bluetooth BMS.
