Solar Scooters introduced its Hyperion electric scooter that can top out at 65 mph and has a maximum range of 70 miles.
minus-squareMentalEdgelinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-24 months agoI’m not aware of any BLDC ESCs that implement boost conversion. Looking it up it seems such a circuit would be beefy indeed when built to handle the amperages of propulsion. Controlling the voltage coming out of the battery is already done using pulse width modulation, but this can only reduce the voltage, not increase it. There’s little point in boosting the voltage to achieve higher top speed, as configuring a battery pack for voltage is very easy. To the point that I’m here lamenting that PEV designs are upping the top speed even when utterly unnecessary.

minus-squareMentalEdgelinkfedilinkEnglish1•4 months agoWhy would there be anything wrong with a forklift battery? A battery pack is a battery pack. Drop an /s next time.

minus-squareMentalEdgelinkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-24 months agoThanks. I’ll go ahead and file that under “obvious common knowledge” going forward. /S I know how lithium packs work and how to program a VESC. That’s all.
