Yesterday was a sad day for Rocker Chopper..   :(

after doubling the batteries to provide more current and extra runtime, some damage started to become increasingly worrying..

here it is in its final stages of life .

Then I strapped another 2 batteries on..

Before finding a better place for more batteries, was worried about putting the weight at the back as it can be a bit wheelie happy..  but then I noticed some damage which was getting significantly worse with each ride.

I did wonder why I had lost ground clearance, and also why I had a "speed wobble" on the front wheel at any speed..lol

Yeah!!!!, That's going to snap real soon.

Was great fun while it lasted and the extra batteries made so much difference..

I started a new one but I don't like it yet, the frame is too big so it's lost it's clown size comedy effect.. and will also be more difficult to transport...

Hmmmm, must find kids bike frame,

 I will continue my hunt for a suitable donor.

Final resting place for additional batteries, not ideal but best I could come up with at the moment. Seat moved forward to hide the hole in the seat post .  Frame shortened and converted to hard tail. I think it's probably slightly bigger overall than before but still small enough for comedy effect, errrr I mean for the kids to ride it.....of course.

Rocker Chopper was supposed to be a trike at the start but it would have been too wide and heavy.

What does the scooter weigh?

Nice VW Bug! 

It's more than 2 elephants but less than 3.

I know because I carried it down to the beach the other day and had to stop 3 times on the way back up these giant steps.

Rocker Chopper has spawned another motor on the front.

It's now 2 wheel drive.

Still have all my fingers and nobody has died yet 

Some say that before health and safety was invented, kids were allowed to have fun???

Ground clearance

Handlebars as footpegs, fitted to bottom of bike frame after chopping off the bottom bracket from bike frame.

Metal bracket for additional batteries for extra runtime or more speed once I upgrade the controller.  (The e100 ESC runs on 36volts but the ESC from the bigger e300 will only run on 24volts.)

Rumour has it that "Dexter" started his career on electric scooters???

The basket :lol:.....very practical!

Just needs a cupholder,,,, for my beer...lol.

I actually want to put a motorcycle headlight on the front, big round chrome one, 

And a trailer to carry all the batteries I'm going to need when I want to cover some distance on it..

Moved the basket to show off the chopper handlebars more. And make space for a headlight maybe.

New footplates from the razor e100 scooter deck that I chopped up for the front motor. And a partial chain guard.

I got a pair of 12volt Pb batteries for a mobility scooter 12ah, I think the standard batteries are 9ah. 

But I was running 24volts(as standard), to the rear wheel via the larger capacity batteries, and 24 volts of the standard capacity batteries to the front motor 

Not a major improvement over the original speed, but recently it has been really slow and the extra punch seemed to wake it up a bit. 

Fast enough to be fun, slow enough to be safe
