Some of us like the new rigs, others prefer classic motoring. Despite this, you’re hard pressed to find anyone out there that prefers drums over disc brakes.
I’m no different, and will proudly state that Disc Is God. My Razor scooter has had some mods over the years, and packs plenty of grunt, but oh god is the stock band brake awful. It was time for an upgrade.
It required the fabbing of Custom Bracketry (TM), something I grew more than familiar with in my stint as an agricultural engineer. It also called for a longer brake cable; thankfully a tandem unit was perfectly sized for the task.
Overall, braking performance was greatly improved, and I did many a mad skid. What more could a boy want? Oh, also - burnouts. And I got stuck in the mud. Much fun!

M odding a R azor e300
Hold my beer...
This person parks outside my office a few times a week.
The seat is hinged with storage underneath.
The home made “cupholders” up front hold two 12v drill batteries.
The training wheels have been removed
They added a basket.
I’m not sure if the drill batteries are range extenders, or if the stock battery is stock, but somewhere in my building, someone is charging batteries under their desk for the ride home.
My guess is someone got a free scooter with a shot battery, and they said, “This will do” and went to the garage and made this out of shit they had lying around.
I love it. I can’t wait to see what they do next.

I like that idea. I was given two of those scooters with bad batteries from my BIL, just waiting for some time to play with them. The drill batteries seem like a good idea. I have plenty of those around.

After I posted that, I went outside and saw it. Basket was missing. Anxiously waiting to see what they come up with next.

My first mod was using drill batteries. Definitely an easy way to get started

Nicely done. So those run 24v normally. Didn’t realize that. Good video of the inner workings of the scooters.
