pulling about 3800 watts maximum ?
Hi Quadfather,
This question had me pondering about the setup on the bike's. At 72v to get 5000w you are using something like 70A give or take. So if your only getting 3800w, also depends on the work-load at the time. Maybe using a hill climb scenario, then your effectively only pulling around 50A at 72v, and even less if the battery is fully charged.
Getting back to the setup of the bike, there's a few bottle necks limiting power, "cycle analyst, Bms, motor controller". From the eeb website, the motor controller can either be set to 60A max or 80A max, they are very vague about what it's actually set at, this is only the constant current, not the max phase current. But will have a limiting effect. Battery and Bms if incorrectly matched to max delivery can also be providing too little Amps. And easiest fault can be that the cycle analyst is limiting the max amp draw, this is apparently a feature on it. I will be keeping an eye on it once I received my bike.)
The factory could have limited the bike, to save the battery. That's just my suspicion.
Curious to see what you find.
