For experiment purposes, I fully charged my 36V battery today, it read 42V. And I connected it to my 48V kit, the display showed only one bar battery, which is expected.
However, interestingly, when I push the throttle, and lift the wheel in the air, it goes up to 40km/h and cuts off/on to maintain speed limit.
Seemly good, but when I rode it, I felt very little assistance even I set assistance level at maximum.
When I stop pedaling, and just use the throttle, the bike hardly moves.
It looks like that at 42V, which is very low if it were a 48V battery, there is very little torque.
Could it be that there wasn't enough discharge current? I had a 48V bike before, even when battery is very low, it still runs the same as at full battery level.
This battery is meant for a 36v 350w hub kit, which doesn't require as high current as a 48V 13A mid drive motor (Is this a 350w kit or 500w kit?), so the seller just used very low current grade cells.
Any ideas to help me understand this guys before I put an order for a 48/52V battery?
