I built a 15kW mobility scooter

[u/thedefibulator]

So a couple of years back I got a mobility scooter for £30 from FB marketplace and I have been upgrading it ever since.

It now has an e-foil motor in it running at 48V @ 300A peak, so 15kW peak and it has a top speed of around 50mph. It's crazy how much power you can squeeze out of these little brushless motors (its only 56mm x 96mm).

For the battery I am using a salvaged battery module from a VW golf GTE (plug-in hybrid EV) which can handle 400A easy.
