This is my pavement shredding prized possession.

=====================================================
This is my Booter. It is my fully electric bike scooter that goes up to 20 MPH. I'm just gonna be honest - It's so much fun. It's like VR. You don't look that cool while doing it, but you forget that after you give it a try.
I've attached a parts list below, but most of the build process is relatively self explanatory. I got a Schwinn Shuffle, which is a giant scooter with a 26 inch wheel on the front, and then I put a VoilaMart wheel on the front of it. What I'm really proud of is the battery mount. I bought 3 pieces of hole-punched steel from Mernards, screwed them together, and then tightened them onto the rest of the bike using U-Bolts.
The electronics of the Booter are housed in the bike bag hanging from the top. I was worried about cooling and ventilation initially, but there doesn't seem to be any issues of overheating after riding for an hour or two.
For the light, I purchased a cheap light off of Amazon, which is actually half decent. I drilled a hole into it, and then soldered in a switch so it isn't on all the tire. It's my favorite part - I love finding excuses to solder and use some heat shrink tubing.
I've gone through about 3 bike tubes on this. Got the street tire replaced with a more rugged tire and hasn't popped since. It's only been a week though, 6/7/24.
