not charging it fully and not discharging it fully (80% max down to 20%) effectively leaving you 60% usable capacity. Calculate the distance you need to travel and find an adequate battery that meets or exceeds that. i.e. get the biggest battery you will likely need but not too big otherwise that's unnecessary weight.
slowly charge it to not overheat the cells
not charging in the cold temps
Tesla vehicles do all of these things behind the scenes.. because they can't have their cars dropping range as quickly as your smartphone.
Short of that.. change the battery chemistry to LiFePO4. You can get 2000 charge cycles. But LFPs have lower energy density, so you'd be carrying more battery weight for a given capacity vs LCO. e.g. a 36v 10ah battery would about weight 30-40% more in a LFP than LCO.
No one makes these things in LFP. So there's really no magical answer to give you a Toyota Corolla of scooters. Hence I'm building one myself.
If this was an ebike, you'd be able to go faster by changing the battery to a higher voltage and a controller that can handle the higher voltage. But the motor (assuming that stayed the same) would be generating more heat because you're pushing 500watts our of a motor that's 250watts. So you'd have to monitor the temperatures.

After all this time, the components on the bike that DID fail were the rear hub, which has made me give up on this particular bike, the rear rack, and the power switch I put on the battery pack, and some of the xt60/xt90 connectors. The ebay ebike kit has had zero issues. I did lose some speed and range over time, but not much really.
Basically, if you get 10 miles a charge, 500 charge cycles is 5,000 miles. Most people will not be using this that heavily, and if you do, you're probably likely to have serious mechanical or electronics issues before battery issues. Most battery failures are probably going to be from taking poor care of them and age. Most packs do have replacements on the market, and really aren't that expensive. Even if you can't find the exact pack you need, you can often find something that will fit and function. Even if you can't, $220 plus $50 in electricity and maybe $60 in tires to go 5,000 miles is insanely cheap transportation, and you can just buy another scooter.
Though personally, I really recommend an ebike. And if battery replacement is a concern, they're more adaptable in that regard. But I'm in Philly, and the potholes out here are no joke. If I was on a scooter and not an ebike, I probably would have taken a serious dive several times by now.

Any recommendations on solid tires to swap the tube ones with? Thanks!
So I clipped the internal battery and soldered on a coaxial jack to connect external battery module. The 20 cell hover pack on ebay for only $38 was like new and charges great with the original gotrax charger. Great little city EV for $38, a win for deflationary forces in transportation.
I do worry that many of these scooters could become unnecessarily wasted by those who don't know how to solder. Let me know if you need any help with that.

I do but I'm trying to save some commute time. I also want to zip past the crazy hobos...

Is the coaxial jack for a different charger? How did you know the control board would work with a different battery
