Driving Electric Scooter Motors

Yeah, after experimenting with the same wheels you'll need something to stop them foam tires spinning in the hubs other than the force of friction applied from the bolts keeping the two halves together - the foam also stinks something rotton for a few days.

As for ESCs you could go down the OSMC route (up to 160A) - they technically go up to 50V (though recommend a battery voltage of 36V max?). Currently in the process of redesigning it so the MOSFETs are on bus bar for increased current handling capabilities. The issue with them however is you need a separate controller to drive them but the component costs from either Farnell or DigiKey are about £60. Wouldn't recommend though if you're looking for something that works out the box.
