I am having problems with my current set up. I need to upgrade to something a bit better and more "Name Brand".
my set up i have now glitches and bumps a LOT!
Due to the second hand controller that I got from a "nameless".com store that looked like they were ripped out of old return bikes, I never got the bike past even 40mph this time? Three controllers from that place and the same thing happens either it wont torn on or it failed while in use or after a bit of riding. Nuff to say i am kinda let down by all this, I know what i am doing and have all the tools to track down the problems. This brings me to another Point, Now after all the controller problems I now have a motor problem That i now believe was caused from constant controller failure. My brushes seem to be cutting the commutator a bit. This would be caused from a controller dumping full power into the motor in short bursts at high amps. Right?
things to help fix problem:
"Better" controllers to be used with this "new motor":
1) Curtis 1204-00XX controller to use now that some one let me test with.
2) Navitas TSP200 controller that should be here any day now.
At the end of the day, it is all the same. Life goes on and more money is spent. I would have liked to do it right the first time, but you never see that happen, right? My Prized bike is getting gutted today and redone in the next couple days.
Quote from me on cycleforums.com
you would be amaze if you were there on the first run, I really had her whipping around that parking lot. I may have done in the controller just from that. but it had a 0-25mph in as fast as a 3-4 seconds, and topped out under 5 seconds...35mph when it was running strong and geared to race... Laugh at me, I really don't mind. I deserve any and all the punishment you all want to post, I did not make my dead line, but in the end I have learned more in one month about how to make my bike more for racing then i have learned in 2 years messing with EV pocket bikes. I now know i have to reverse every thing i believe in to make the bike work. Don't ask me to get into detail about it, Just know a lot has changed in my shop and in my head. Actually I have not made a bike to sell in over a month now because of all this. E very thing is going to my project bike now, A LOT OF MONEY!
I have to seal up Shakes controller and buy a 5k ohm twist grip for it. then I can use it on a new motor i am ordering tonight or tomorrow.
I am also going to be using a couple other name brand controllers as well this time. cost $150-$300
The motor i am looking at is a I-Zip1000(watt) made by Currie, kinda pricey at almost $200 but you pay for the name, nope more like you pay for it to work.
Actually Every thing on the bike will be name brand this time. Cost more but will work though! I am tired of spending my money on junk electronics, time to spend my money on the good stuff!
Right now i have the whole price list in front of me, many of you could make a hell of a gas bike for what i am about to dish out. I hope it works this time! It has to.....
