I recently acquired a new brushless motor that I am considering using for a future Electrathon car build.
The vehicle in question would be 3 wheeled and lightweight. Probably about 300lbs with driver.
This motor is only rated at 1400 watts max and is currently sensorless. It is a two stator axial flux Heinzmann PMS 80 motor.
My average power usage would likely be between 700 and 800 watts.
I would like to be able to have a voltage range of 36-60v
I'm looking for recommendations for a controller.
I looked at some RC types and a few e-skateboard ones but I am concerned that they won't hold up long term. I don't need a bunch of options (cruise control, regenerative braking, etc.)
There are lots of controllers out there and I'm not looking to spend a bunch of money, but I'm also not interested in throwing money away on junk.
Anybody got personal experience and could recommend something?
Or tell me what to avoid?
