    Anyone interested in a 1985 VF500 Conversion or parts?

    In the 2009-2011 timeframe, I converted a 1985 VF500 from gas to electric using an Enertrac MH602 10kW motor and Kelly controller, and 7kWh (36 x 60Ah) ThunderSky LiFePO4 batteries. It was a great conversion and I rode it pretty consistently until early 2019, then put it in storage and never...

    Help replacing a controller for a 2007 Zapino scooter (or getting a new hub motor for a Kelly KLS sine wave controller)

    A couple of years ago, i killed the controller in my 2007 Zapino scooter. I started a thread about it here: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=74412. In that thread, along with help from ES, I found the controller is really two smaller controllers. The motor is a BLDC hub motor...

    What type of realtime communication are you looking for?

    10" wheelwith disc brake mount and sprocket mount?

    Cool. Thanks. I found a bunch of spoked wheels, but they mostly have 1.4 or 1.6" rims, so can only go to 2.5" tires. I did end up getting the solid wheel parts that ElectricGod posted. Still working on it, but I'll report back when I get it all installed.

    10" wheelwith disc brake mount and sprocket mount?

    Thanks! I didn't think about getting the rims separate from the hub. Now I just need to get it to work with a dropout that expects a 15mm axle. :) Thanks!

    10" wheelwith disc brake mount and sprocket mount?

    Hi folks. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place that sells a 10" scooter wheel that has both a disc brake mount as well as a sprocket mount? I've mostly found 10" wheels with disc brakes and an inline motor mount, or 10" wheels with a sprocket mount and a drum brake, but not both. I did...

    Help with cogging Hub Motor

    Yeah, true. I also have my VF500 conversion (using an Enertrac MH602 hub motor), so I'll just ride that instead. (until I pull the thundersky batteries out of that to replace with Enerdels)... :-D

    Help with cogging Hub Motor

    I took measurements. The groups are isolated. The resistance is 0.25 ohms with two of the other three wires in a group, whereas open with the other group of three wires.

    Do you think it's really a 6 phase controller? I thought it was basically two 3 phase in parallel. I don't know that much about motor setup, so I'm just guessing. In any case, I can measure the resistance, but I'm not sure of what combinations you want.

    I may give repairing the controller a shot, but probably not. I pulled the trigger on a Revolt RV-160 Short and am having fun trying to figure out how to make that work. :)

    Help with cogging Hub Motor

    OK, so I finally got to the smaller controller. Guess what. There's another one inside! Well, no. Just kidding. Here's a pic: (Note all pics are clickable to full size versions) I ended up cutting the phase and power wires because I don't think the black controller case has two...

    Help with cogging Hub Motor

    This is pure speculation at this point, but heat could definitely have played an issue in me killing it. After a couple of years sitting in my garage, I swapped out the 5 SLA batteries for a 60V pack of Enerdel batteries. The weight went from around 280 to 190 lbs. It became super fun to ride...

    Help with cogging Hub Motor

    So now I know why there are 6 hall sensor wires and 6 drive phase wires. Here's a pic of the controller. Nothing special, nor indicative of what's inside. I wasn't expecting this when I opened it up: It's like the russian nesting dolls of controllers. It's got two smaller controllers...

    Help with cogging Hub Motor

    That was when pulling the yellow phase/drive wire. When I checked each individual hall sensor, they all seemed to be functional. I've been busy with family and Thanksgiving stuff, so haven't had a chance to crack open the controller. Hopefully that'll happen tomorrow. i'll report back with...

    Help with cogging Hub Motor

    Ok. I built jumper wires using 0.093 molex pins like so: And then shrink wrapped them: Then put them inline like this: When I removed them one at a time, I saw the following: Blue: wheel ran smooth Yellow: no change (wheel cogged) Green: wheel ran smooth Red: wheel didn't run at all...

    Help with cogging Hub Motor

    Hmm. This is going to be a little harder. The connector for the drive wires is pretty good and doesn't easily allow me to get at them when they're plugged in. I'll try to figure out a way though. Thanks!

    Hm. OK. I don't know what controller it is. It's the same one as here: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=72461&p=1117566#p1117566. I'll take some pics of it tonight. Not sure I want to crack it open, but who knows, it may be fun. :)

    Help with cogging Hub Motor

    Done! (Sorry about that :oops: ). I'm in the Bay Area, California. I've got an electric motorcycle conversion that I did with an Enertrac MH602 Hub motor and a Kelly KBL 120V/400A brushless, Sevcon Gen4 Size4 110V/300A, Kelly KLS8080I 144V/300A controller along with this scooter that I'm...

    Hey folks, I have a circa 2007 or 2008 Zapino scooter. It used to have a 60V Sealed Lead Acid battery pack. I changed the pack to a 60V Enerdel Lithium Ion pack (it saved about 80 lbs). It was working great as an around town kind of scooter, but during one ride, the motor started cogging...

    I also think the request is not just 3A 00 3A. I think it's a two byte string with the checksum. add 3A + 00, which equals 3A.

    Looks like it's just the low 8 bits of the sum of the data in the binary string. 3A 10 2D 05 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 3B 00 0E 00 00 00 00 C6 Add all the numbers up and it equals C6. Here's one that ends up with a number that's larger than 1 byte: 3B 10 0 0 3 C0 0 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15 Sum...

    To answer my own question. I sniffed the communication between the windows app and a KLS8080I, there is a third message: 3C 00 3C, but the data is all 00s.

    Sinusoidal wave brushless motor controller

    Awesome. I'm about to get one of these (but the 144V/300A one. :) I'm going to be adding it to my logger as well. :D Do you know of any other commands besides 3A 00 3A and 3B 00 3B. Also, can you post a picture of what the screens of the android and/or PC software looks like? Thanks!
