I'm new to this forum but found some good info about doing an electric conversion on a retro scooter so I thought I'd post the project here.
As you probably know, the Genuine Stella 2T is a PX150/LML Star under the hood. I bought this as a barely running project scooter and did a full teardown and overhaul of the ICE. When it was back together it ran great but I did something wrong with the gear stack. It slipped and just was unsettled, so the project has sat for a year.
I've decided I wanted to convert this to a hub motor and get rid of all the oil everywhere that you need to keep these going! I also have a 2007 Genuine Buddy 125 that runs very well, so this electric would be kind of a novelty short hop scooter.
Here is what I very tentatively have in mind for the basics of the project:
72V 4000W hub motor
72V battery pack 17-25 AH
Pics so far
Pulling the fuel and mix oil tanks
Creating a cardboard mock-up of the 25AH triangle battery pack
Fits into the tank void pretty well
More to come, but just getting a thread started!
