Hi, I am building a scooter from scratch with my son. Our friend is a welder so we have that part down. We need advice on electric motors; we want an assist. I know that electric motors will be less powerful than a gas motor. We prefer electric. We value acceleration over long life of the battery; its just around here, and we can add batteries. Which adds weight... in any case, we want to be creative. We are building from scratch. I hear from smart people that there is no way to build a strong electric scooter; is this true? Will there always be limitations on the power?
