(apologies to those who might not have got the breakfast cereal reference 
)
As my first experience in riding in snowy conditions earlier this week, there are 2 things I have done to my scooter that I’m really glad I did:
1. New tyres – the K62s are *so* much better than the rubbish that was on there originally.
2. Controller speed limits – when I built my latest controller I set 2 speed limits that are throttle-related, which I set to 30% and 70% respectively. This means that for a certain throttle opening it transmits less power to the motor, enabling a much more controlled pull-away in slippery conditions. When you get onto an un-slippery road you can just flick the switch up to the next setting while riding, giving a fun gear-change boost effect too!
Referring to some of the other comments I made in my previous post, I still haven’t been able to verify the actual speed I’m getting (although I may have some more news on that soon), but the speedo still seems to show approximately the same speeds as it did before so I assume I am getting a higher top speed! And since I’ve had the new tyres on I don’t seem to have even come close to grounding the centre stand when leaning into corners! Oh – that’s another two things
As I hinted at earlier, watch this space for a speed check…
