Hey all,
I'm ready to purchase my first motor controller and I'm hoping some members here can share their thoughts.
The motor is a Golden Motor HPM-5000b. It's a 48V motor, advertised as 5kW continuous, 7.5kW peak (datasheet: https://www.goldenmotor.com/eCar/HPM48-5000.pdf )
Operating Parameters:
So far I'm leaning towards the Kelly KLS7245H which handles 140A continuous, and 350A phase current for 30 seconds.
Powervelocity's 15kW controller fits the bill but unfortunately there's no stock. Of course there's also Golden Motor's own controller--the VEC300.
What do you all think? Any other ideas?
Thanks all!

Operating Parameters:
- 99.99% of the time, the controller will be set to "cruise control" at around 2kW.
- I would nonetheless like the ability to push it to 7.5kW at least for a short duration.
- I prefer a sine wave controller
- The ability to program (or at least monitor) via bluetooth is nice.
- For context, it's being used as a sailboat inboard mostly for getting in and out of the slip, harbour, and of course covering distance when becalmed, etc.
