I guess the motor control stuff should be pretty universal, but I have yet to look into it, if I would want to build it myself or just buy something off the shelf from ebay.

I’ve been making RC planes for decades, and have a bit of experience with the ESC’s for the new-school motors that have hit the scene in the last few years .. maybe there’s some knowledge there we can crossover ..

Yeah, I really think an open source scooter would be seriously great too ..
