I am looking to add a little speed to some newly-acquired e200 (2 e200s and 1 e275) Razor scooters. I would like to do some easy mods to boost some speed. After reading some posts I have a few ideas but thought it would be best to get some expert opinion before I attempt to execute. Starting off with the sprocket on the end of the motor. It looks like a simple swap for a sprocket with more teeth would give me a speed boost while negatively impacting torque. My kids will not accelerate as fast but still should reach a faster speed as they are fairly light weight. My question is, how do I know exactly what size sprocket do i want? I believe i have the 'D Type" on my e275 as it looks like it has just one flat side. Does that sound correct. Where is the best place to look to find replacement sprockets?
The other option I believe I want to look into is upgrading to 36volts. Right now the scoots are using the original batteries and there are up to 5 years use on some of these, so new batteries are probably needed even if i do not convert to 36volt. I am thinking about upping the amp hours on these as well if i can come up with something that will allow me up raise the deck while keeping it sealed up fairly well. Anyway, if i do upgrade to 36volt, do I need to get a new controller and throttle as well? If i do not, will I notice the boost, am I just going to burn something up quickly? I am not looking to invest too much, i know the batteries for three scooters is going to use up quite a bit of the budget--thankfully i am within an hour of the Crown Battery plant and can just stop in and buy some fresh off the floor at a good price and see how they fit in the scooter before buying.
I am thankful for any information and advice you can give. If you have links to good sources for any of the upgrades, that would be great as well.
I do have some pics of the scooter if that would help. I think I attached a pic of the sprocket on the e275 in case that is helpful.
