Would these do the trick?

No, you need this type of voltage regulator an in-line, through-hole component. Just choose one that suits your set-up, 33.6v, 42v etc. for the input and then match the output to the coil voltage of the relay you find…

I’m just having a quick look for a relay…

This relay will be perfect.

But you can choose from these…

Finished the upgrade! These wheels are so nice. Very smooth and the rubber is quite grippy, a lot grippier than the scooter wheels…

I thought adapting them to fit my sprocket (chain drive) was going to be a nightmare, but it actually turned out to be super easy, even easier than the scooter wheels and would be even easier if I was using a pulley and belt I reckon.

Looking good, where’d you get the wheels?

And what’s the story on those tires? Did you trim down some @psychotiller tires? Looks good.

@pat.speed @Mobutusan

They’re new prototype wheels I’m working on. I’m just perfecting the rubber and all the sizing etc. Also looking at how to mount pulleys or sprockets…

They should be available to the community soon! I may be replacing the rubber with urethane… but maybe not, I’ll see which is best.

How did you attach your enclosure to the deck ? I have wood inserts but since deck has a bit of a flex they are popping out a lot ;(

There’s four screws either end of the deck, (8 in total), they’re in elongated holes so the enclosure can move a few mm. This seems to have helped it stay put.

So you simply drilled into the deck?

Yeah, with wood screws. I should say though, the screws go through 10mm of thickish rubber before they go into the deck, that also helps…

Cool, and how does taking enclosure off work? I guess it is more of a permanent solution right?

Yeah, since creating my new enclosure with the charge port and the li-ion with BMS, I haven’t had to take it off more than twice in a couple of months. It’s more of a permanent solution as I’d have to unscrew all eight screws to get it off…

You can kind of see them here…

if the chain is really tight it will make minimal noise like almoat nothing, have you ever ridden a bycicle with that chain tightnerer thingy its usually on mtb bikes i do not know its name in english

Yeah, I do wonder what it’d be like with a chain tensioner on it… it’s not that loud at the moment to be honest… well not to me anyway…

You need to rename this thread, “look at my revolutionary wheels” (almost no pun intended) They look really nice, very interested to hear how they ride. Well done.
