Going to talk shop at Golden Motor USA Friday - Questions?

[mrgarci1]

Hey fellas, been away from the forums for a long time, but I randomly ran into Phil who's a rep for Golden Motor USA here in Scottsdale and realized they have a facility right down the street from me. I'm going to go up there to check it out tomorrow, I'd be happy to take any questions/suggestions you guys may have up with me. So, what would you like to ask/tell the folks at Golden Motor?

Get rid of that POS black GM regen controller.

 

[John in CR]

Are they going to carry some real inventory stateside with China prices plus the proportional share of sea shipping, or are they just using the GM name with a big layer of profit to warehouse stateside? When can we expect 5C or better lithium packs for $.50/wh or less with shipping from stateside?

do you have a model number/name?


John, I'm not sure I understand your warehousing question exactly. I'll def find out the scope of their operation stateside, but from what I understand already they're looking to do design and distribution from the US, not sure about manufacturing. The guy I spoke with last week said the owner is here from China (if i remember correctly) and it seems like it is/will be a full-scale operation. I will ask about their plans on battery specs and prices for the forseeable future.

OK actually I'll be up there on Friday, so you have a few more days to get your questions in

I would, in general, like to see some reliable documentation (max and continuous controller current draw, etc).

Another thing I'd like to see would be a heavy duty geared hub motor that can take some serious off-road use (minor jumping, etc) without worrying so much about stripped planetary gear sets.

Oh, and I want a 3 pound 100ah 10C LifePo4 battery that will fit inside any frame for no more than 50 USD...
