I just got this electric Honda S90 conversion cobbled together enough to drive around today. Still lots to do BUT after one 20 minute ride around my neighborhood the bike stopped working. I assumed it was the battery that died, considering i had never charged it. After charging it however the bike was still dead. So a simple process of elimination led me to the controller. I opened one side and two capacitors straight fell out. The solder didn't fail, the capacitors straight sheared off.
Which brings me to my question, before i purchase another "kunray" chinese controller that may suffer from the same issue, is there another controller that would be a better substitute? This is my first foray into EV's so im pretty new.
