Found this small vehicle on Craigslist. Pretty slow but dependable. It had a Scooterland US sticker so I sent a request for an owners or service manual to that busines.
[[ nothing ]] I know from their ad that it is 24 volts, and saw a similar brand with 36 volts.

Could I boost this up to 36 volts or would that require a heftier controller?

I have no idea where this was made or how old it is without the manual.

Throw a basket on it and you could totally do all of your shopping at Wal-Mart in half the time.

I just took that factory basket off! Would not open- whoever installed that made that seat trunk unusable. I am beginning to think it was built in the USA since Chinese assembly is at least usable one time

Even my Korean Aspire was built right!
