Good job!
I can't wait to hear how well it performs.

That would be so totally cool!!!I smell an article cooking!
I'm not following; could you be more specific about the wiring issue? Where would the switch be? (vs where you have it now)APL said:Spent most of the day tearing all the wiring apart and trying to find the culprit for why she's not working, I finally found out that the controller needs an on-off switch for a fresh command each time. Same way with the reverse mode. It will work the first time but then it wont after the main B+ has been shut off, and turned on again.
I wanted to just use the main battery switch to power it up, but I guess you cant leave the controller B+ connected permanent on this one. Probably everybody else knows that already, but I didn't. At any rate, think I got it figured.
120 degrees is used on almost all ebike hubmotors.APL said:Saw some for 120 degree Hall specs for it, so I was a bit worried, I thought the Leaf is 60 degree but not sure, either way, it looks like they might work together. It's spin's, so we shall see how well.

https://www.amazon.com/GFHFG-Controller-60V-72V-Brushless-Sinusoidal/dp/B091GL8HQH Has video for connections, otherwise info seems scarce.
The controller plug has a couple of small guides to index, so it's easy to get wrong,.. I thought the chamfered corners were the key,
but nay.

APL said:From memory, the controller had an orange wire that needed to go to positive, from what I read, although now I can't seem to find the info, so maybe I just assumed something and that's what's going on here.
You're too funny! :lol:APL said:Or better yet, just standardize the connection color code. :wink:
It's still 3000w. (well, a little less because of efficiency losses in the drivetrain)APL said:3000w mid drive with a 2:1 reduction is 6000w at the rear, so yea, it should flip me like a pancake.
APL said:Even at 1KW I can feel that it's much more snappy than before, and the throttle is more sensitive to movement. A 36 rear cog is low, and It has no problem getting around. It will still work fine at the legal 750w.
But gee, I'd like to see what 60A or 80A is like,.. not 30A! JC, I'm riding a welder!
