Hi folks
the external controller has been running fine for weeks now.
love the 1500 watt bike with the external controller glad i fixed it
controller and hub do not get hot at all
some observations:
1. there is a gent selling his 1500w hub hub on ebay right now
he ALSO had an internal...
oh my goodness i love my 800 watt and 1500 watt ebikes
holey moley manchester canal towpaths
so the M65/T rim brakes are ok - but just not good enough
so can i change pad material?
OR?
must i get disks?
in which case what brand etc.
dont muck about you know we wont stand for it
thank you for...
Balmohea - have you actually read ? internal controller has failed cannot get another one
there is no stock. comprehend? the helpful ebay seller has none. there is also no stock of controllers that will
work with the sw900 . . . . . . .
I cannot fix the original controller.
could just sit on...
i like the little lcd screens.
OK the world situation seems to be really bad and ebay uk is selling out of all inexpensive controllers.
(and dont wanna be stuck with just an 800 watt ebike)
so last week i bought a 1500watt external controller and lcd and brake and throttle kit.
it was £59...
got all silicone off. resoldered the stuff that was loose ( a large resistor and copper busbar thingies)
now getting error 10.
so thats it . given up on internal controller.
ideally what i now want is a voilamart external controller that is a genuine 35amps
that is compatible with sw900. but...
shifting all the silicone stuff is a pain.
got 90% of it off. soaking the board again.
when it does swell up its like a tree root breaking tarmac
so far its pulled out one copper bus bar thingy and a large watt resistor thingy
ok white spirit has been totally successful in breaking up the silicone
not sure how that is possible. maybe its not silicone?
pcb detached easily. gonna leave pcb soaking for another 24hours.
then will try some fault finding.
By the way im doing all this because there seems to be no uk stock...
dug away the silicone sealant with knife then immersed controller in white spirit for four hours
it definitely loosening up. especially where i hacked away.
will leave it for 24 hours. and report back.
used it once its done 29kms
but have had it for ages because was building a massive battery pack
very frustrating i dugout the silicone a bit and the mosfets checkout fine and the hall efect power is good
at 5volts. im sure i could fix the controller given time
but ive read about silicone...
dont fancy stripping out the waterproof silicon goo so
gonna get an external controller thats compatible with the sw900
if that all goes well i wont add to this thread.
if it goes wrong or if it gets interesting will let you all know.
as mentioned earlier in this thread - some of the wires are...
hello folks im in manchester uk
i have a 1500watt voilamart rear hub kit bought recently with internal controller and sw900.
using a 13s 14 p battery pack
got error09 (controller error) . stripped hub down- cannot see anything obviously wrong except some of the connectors had
corrosion on them...
