I haven't quite figured out why, but my KT LCD4 display shuts of sometimes at stop lights. I thought maybe there was a timer where if the motor is unused for a period of time and there is. In the manual, it says 5 minutes.However, even occasionally at 2-way stop signs where I'm waiting for cars...
Hi, I'm trying to make my battery level readout more accurate. Since a LiFePo4 battery has a very different state of charge chart than a Li-Ion one, how should I properly set my P5 setting on my KT controller?
P5 is the battery monitoring settings which tells me how "full" my battery is using...
It's literally been 11 years! Time for an update! After some research, I decided to again go with a LiFePo4 battery after my first one failed. Thank you everyone who's helped me on my journey and for responding to my more recent posts. You've been awesome.
2022 UPGRADES:
1. 20ah battery...
For whatever reason, the MPH started working when I took the bike out today. No clue why or how. The numbers just started moving from 0 where it was previously. Very intermittent. I did install the PAS a few hours ago and no effect. The MPH sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. PAS is steady...
Thanks for your reply. Yes, my Hall connector does have that extra sensor wire that isn't used. That also could've been a temperature sensor from what I understand. Since it's an old system, I really don't know. No diagram. However, there's also an additional separate wire coming out of my NEW...
How does the bike sense speed? On my old setup, I had a magnet and sensor on the wheel that sensed the MPH on a separate cycling computer (has nothing to do with the e-bike kit). However, on my new setup with new controller (KT's 500w 25a), there's no such sensor nor connector.
I assume I just...
Other issue resolved. Wire colors do need to match in my particular case. A Amped Bikes controller sold to me through Hitekbikes was replaced after 11 years by a KT controller. Slightly more amperage 25A compared to 22A and gave me more functionality like integration of a display, opportunity to...
You guys are both going to hate me. I thought I was working in good lighting, but apparently I'm color blind. I connected the wrong color 3-phase wires together. Green to blue instead of green to green. I'm an idiot. Feel free to tell me so. Didn't mean to waste you guys's time with that. I was...
I'll check that too. Possible some of my connections on those 3 bullet connectors weren't tight. I think my connectors were for a gauge that's smaller than what I'm using. May need to revisit the hardware store again tomorrow. Thanks for looking out.
Thanks all. I did end up swapping the wires and believe everything is fine. New issue but I've started a new thread since it is not quite directly related to this topic.
I recently swapped controllers and tried to figure out the wiring. I’m confident I connected everything correctly. However, there’s a grinding noise from the motor when the throttle is engaged. The wheel spins very gently.
My guesses:
1. Can a loose 1 of 3 motor wires cause this? I know that...
If I'm wrong with the wiring, will that toast my controller or will it just not work and then I have another chance and returning the wires to the way they were?
Looking for your expertise again. This may be the last question before I can get my ride running with an upgraded controller.
My KT controller has the red wire in the middle whereas my throttle connector has the red wire on the side and the black wire in the middle. Do I need to swap the...
