Since I'm shopping around for another controller I'm just wondering how much power savings would I get if I went with a 3077 over a 4110 setup. I know it's probably hard to say but would 10% to 20% real world savings be realistic or is it likely to be much less? Assuming I'd be riding the same with either controller, stop and go urban and generally under 40 kph. 44.4v 40amps, direct drive, either Crystalyte 407 or HS3540.
I do like the option of running 66.6v and 88.8v which the 4110 gives me, but most of the time that's more speed than I need and I realize this is not an efficient way to ride. If the real world energy savings could be in the range of 10 to 20% I think it would be worth giving up the higher voltage capability for the increase in efficiency but if it's going to be more like 5% or less I think I'd rather stick with the 4110.
Anyone have practical experience here, that's worth more than theory but all opinions welcome.
