    Controller for Golden Motor Hub?

    Hi: I fried my "cruise controller" from Golden Motor. As I have had for only 10 1/2 months, it should be under warranty but should Golden Motor fail to honor that, I am wondering what my options are. I have the 1000 watt 48V front hub motor with external controller. Are there other brands...

    Golden Motor USB controller configuration tool

    Folks: Golden motor has posted the software on their website for free download. They also have a picture that shows the cable and where the various colored wires go. While they want $50 for the cable, it looks like anybody with a pair of dykes and a soldering iron could make their own. Has...

    How and where to mount magnetic reed switch for regen brake?

    Hi: I ordered the magnetic reed switch from Rick in the cold Ontario a couple of years ago and am finally remaking my bike with a controller that can take advantage of a switch. In the first build, I just made it so that it was ergonomically impossible to squeeze the brake and turn the...

    I think I have a miss-wound motor

    I have a Golden Motor 48V front wheel that I can't seem to dial in. It has no torque once it is on the ground. The Hall Effect Sensors fire No coils are open If I spin the motor as a generator, I get nice pretty sin waves across all 3 pairs of motor power wires. If I disconnect the blue or...

    Hall sensor firing order

    I have a 48V Golden Motor front hub that I can't seem to dial in. I tried swapping the yellow and green for both the phase and power wires and it got a little better but it still does not want to start from a stop and needs to be push-started. Built an LED tester and got the following...

    Phase detection problem Golden Motor

    I finally got my 48v battery packs built and put everything together: a 48V regen controller and a 48V 1000W wheel--both from Golden Motor in China.

    I have two battery space 39.6V NiMH packs. One never was able to charge continuously even at .9A at above about 65F which it normally is here. I can put the pack in the freezer and then charge it right up from where it was when it over heated. After having problems with discharging the pack...

    The BLDC Regen controller I ordered off the Golden Motor website arrived from China today $109 and 3 weeks later. It is the 48V 1000W regen controller listed on their website (goldenmotor.com). It came with a new thumb throttle labeled 48V. It looks like they reworked a 36 volt unit to beef...

    NiMH battery packs for regen?

    Hi: I bought a used under-seat steering recumbent a few years ago and loved it. But it was not safe once I got tired because I could not get going at lights. I figured that it would be perfect if it only had an electric front wheel. I looked around on the 'net and found expensive Canadian...
