Hi everyone,
Like the title indicates, I am looking to get more power out of my setup and am looking for advice from people with more experience than me.
Details of the setup:
Motor: Golden Motor hpm 5000B/48V/300A peak/100A continuous
Controller: Kelly KEB48601 350 Phase amps/140A continuous
Stock battery: 13s LiPo 24 Ah
Magura throttle
I use the bike for what it's designed for: pure trials. This means that I rarely need full power for more than 10-15 seconds at the most. This is my first Emoto so I can't really compare it to anything else except the gas bikes and their capabilities. To me it's seems underpowered a bit. Throttle response to me seems ok as I can really control it going snail pace but everyone is raving about hall active throttle so maybe it could be better than a Magura/Domino. Seems quite punchy off the line but could be better cause it's far from launching me like a gas bike would. I know I can't match that characteristic because it lacks a flywheel and clutch but maybe I can get closer to it.
So my reasoning is that maybe I'd be better off with a more powerful controller so I can feed more amps to the motor. How far can I push it without damage. I think there is a thermistor in the motor or at least one in the controller but I can't really monitor temperature in real time. I also read somewhere that the new sinewave controllers aren't as punchy as the old square wave Kelly's so I'm looking for advice on that. I've been lurking about on the Nucular controller thread, it seems like that would work for my setup.
Maybe I'd be better off with a new motor altogether although I would like to keep it if possible. The QS 3000w looks like a great candidate but if someone knows a better option (could be more expensive if it's lighter too), please feel free to give suggestions.
Should I switch throttle too or I will loose the ability to really finely control slow speed?
Is the battery possibly getting old? Maybe voltage is sagging under power and that accounts for the lack of punch. Is there any way I can find out?
I am looking forward to your advice.
