I would of never believed that gas would ever get that high, right now the gas in my area is about 3.69 a gallon. See so the need to create a more feasible form of transportation that is reliable and doesnt break the bank is really needed.

Mashinman, I have recently acquired Panterra Freedom for $50. Added distilled H20 to 4 20ah batts, charged and it came alive! Would like to add 4 extra 12v 9ah batts to scooter in breaker compartment. Can you provide a little more detail for modifying shunt of controller to accomodate the extra amps? Where is shunt located in controller. Should I replace shunt with 1.5" polished coat hanger piece? Any other mods required. Thanks for your help!

What I used to increase the shunt size was a piece of polished coat hanger and I also drilled the holes out on the circuit board to fit this. If you are going to add extra batteries do not add them in series to the existing batteries to increase the voltage. The controller can only handle about 60 volts at the max and the internal hub motor will not take more than that. Also remember the charger is only designed to charge the 4 batteries so you will need to do like I did. I added connectors in line with the batteries allowing me to plug and unplug the extra batteries so the additional ones can be charged. I used some heavy duty 3 prong 115 male female plugs that I bought at Lowes hardware. Make sure you get a heavy gauge wire also it has to be at least what the current wire is, anything less will heat up and cause a restriction in current. I added two 12v 20ah batteries in parallel with the current batteries to give extra current which gives a longer duration to the ride. I hope this helps and good luck.

Looks just like my buddys GY6 Panterra Freedom didn't know they made an electric version.

Hey guys I am in need of some advice I have an electric panterra freedom scooter 750watts and the charger I got with it was broken motherboard exposed and what not but still charged if the cord was moved in the correct position basically the wire was not getting it the correct connection to the motherboard so I thought I could take it apart and solder the wire in there correctly but ended up frying the whole charger itself... Is there any other way I could charge this scooter because I need it now type deal and don't want to pay $80 for a charger online and wait a week to get it or is there anybody in Arizona who would possibly have a charger any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated

I used to have a 500w 60v electric scooter. the scooter i had was a daymak hamilton. when i got it it had a 60v 20ah SLA batteries, a 500w hub motor and a 60v controller. for mods i upgraded the controller to a 72V one with a higher current rating and added another battery under the seat. and it moved pretty quick. the acceleration was close to what a stock 50cc 4t scooter, and the top speed was around 65km/h and the range was close to 50kms. i ended up selling it to pay for parts for my car. but on the plus side i got almost triple what i paid for it, which was $400.

welcome That is a very interesting scooter. I live to far out in boonies for it but a lot of my friends live in town and it would be useful there. Also guys don't get to negative all scooters are something to look at and learn from. I'm also on mopesarmy and they are so negative on 4 strokes I don't participate at all at least on here you are exposed to all different kinds of bikes and I see a lot of ones I never knew existed and find very interesting. farmer54
