Hi everyone,
I purchased a 1680w 48v mid mount motor and kelly controller from cyclone about 6 months ago and set it up on my bike. ever since i put it on the bike it has always overheated very quickly and cut out.(i might get a couple of km out of it if i go easy on it before it cuts out) i cut the wires and hard wired it when i initially put it on the bike. i am using a em3ev battery which is 16.4AH 50v high power type (20R Cell) if the type of battery makes any difference. i contacted cyclone about the problem and they told me i needed to program the controller to 70% but i could not connect the controller to the computer for some reason so they sent me a cyclone 40a controller. i wired that up and it was a lot slower and it still overheated.. cyclone thought that the motor was stuffed from being used at 100% so they sent me another motor which i have just wired up and tried out to find that it makes absolutely no difference. :x has anyone else had this problem or have any idea why it might be doing it because i'm almost over it...
