An electric conversion comes down to four systems working together: the motor, the battery, the controller and the throttle. Get the voltage right across all four and the rest is assembly.
Pick your voltage first
Everything else follows from system voltage. A 36V system (10S) is common for light scooters; 48V (13S) gives more speed and efficiency. Your motor, controller and charger must all match this number.
Size the battery
Range depends on watt-hours. Multiply pack voltage by amp-hours: a 48V 15Ah pack stores 720Wh, roughly 30-40km of real-world range depending on rider weight and terrain.
- Motor: hub or mid-drive, matched to system voltage
- Battery: built from 18650/21700 with a matching BMS
- Controller: rated for peak motor current
- Wiring: XT60/XT90 connectors, correct gauge
NexEV supplies the battery side of this build — cells, holders, BMS, nickel, connectors and insulation. Reach out with your target range and we'll spec a pack.
