fourbanger
100 W
Controller is rated at 25A Max current. 12A Rated current.
I take that to mean that while the unit can push 25A it can't sustain it for too long and is happier at a mere 12A.
What I don't understand is why i couldn't break 32km/h ~ 20mph with a 48v system while the bike was running on the flats. Motor is a brushless BPM(16) on 26" wheels and I only weigh about 130lbs.
Justin's simulator shows about 40km/h top speed, which I would have thought would be a little closer to the mark.
Reason I'm asking is that I'm in the market for a new battery and was thinking about updating the controller as well, but I'm now wondering if there's much point in the latter. Could it be that the motor winding it what's holding me back?
Thanks for any and all help.
