I was gifted a pair of 24 volt Razor scooters for the grandkids.
They are too fast for the kids, and I can for-see injuries in the near future.
Each is powered with two 12v 7ah batteries. There is a electronic controller that varies voltage to the motor from zero to 24 volts.
I thought that I would just use ONE 12v battery and it would go slow enough. The problem is that the electronic controller.
!. requires that both batteries are connected, AND
2. the combined voltage has to be a minimum of 20 volts.
So my first plan will not work.
The razor homepage, states the units that I have will run at 15 MPH for 40 minutes.
It is a 24V 250 watt motor.
I'd like to drop the maximum speed down to half that.
What kind of resistor would I need to get?
OR is there a better way?
