The goal is to provide a 24v 500W dual-motor modular solution for $100-$150. That's better than equivalent commercial products, with the added benefit that all critical parts will be in sockets and can be easily replaced if they fail. Blow out a scooter controller, it only costs $20 to replace. Blow out a direction relay, it only costs $2 to replace. Frank P. that's one of the reasons i haven't gotten a controller yet (the other being getting all the money together in the same place at once). But i really like the idea (that you said) of it being module and if any one part goes bad, you don't have to ship it out, wait and hope it can be fixed where with this it's just a matter of getting another scooter controller or fuse (from out of the spare parts box). should we wait for this circuit to be produced or can we ask now for possible types of scooter controllers so we can start buying the rest of the needed parts soon? even though i am using 350w motors, i'd rather make the heavier controller version for 500w motors as this is one place i'd rather not skimp on. also, do you have any place in mind that sells the parts NEW rather than hoping parts on E-bay are (and hopefully accepts PayPal?)
