Hello, I'm a bit of a noob in regards to brushless motors so bear with me. I do know my way around a workshop though, so I feel confident embarking on this mission.
A couple years ago I put together an ebike in a very spartan way. I connected 3x massive 6S LiPo packs in series, connected the directly to a Controller and hooked it all up to a 1500W hub motor. Funnily enough (not) the electronics stopped working and soon after I moved away and completely forgot about the project.
Now I found all the parts again and I want to rebuild. Here is my parts list
18S LiPo (=72V) ±1kWh battery pack which would be able to provide upwards of 25kW
1500W no-name Hub Motor and Rim
Fat Bike
The rest of the electronics don't work.
Now, with the bike having 4.5" wide tires and me riding on snow, I remember the bike being very fast but not very torque-y at all.
If I'm not mistaken, I should be able to rewind the hub motor to draw more current at 72V effectively making it more powerful (increasing its wattage).
Because I need to replace all electronics anyways, I thought I may as well go all out and do the whole job. And yes, this time I would like to use a BMS.
Does anyone have any resources on how to rewind a motor for increased current draw?
I would also appreciate any alternative input on how I can make this e-bike as torque-y and powerful as possible.
Thanks in advance
