I've just converted my lads 49cc petrol quad to electric after my wife moaning about the noise and with him being five unable to pull start it,
Last night I picked up a mobility scooter and set about stripping it apart, I only paid £75 as it could do with new battery's, I removed the drive train off the scooter to measure up position and set about removing the engine out of the quad, I decided to remove the rear axle and brakes etc and use the ones off the scooter but I wanted to keep the rear suspension,
In the end I welded a frame up to the swinging arm of the quad and fitted the motor and back axle to that, I wanted it this way because it has a diff and a reverse gear


















I have fitted a cable to the original lever for the throttle and it's now operated by the rhs brake lever
