Racer_X said:I have been riding my DD hub motor on 48v and I have been getting 1200w. If I where you I would get a booster battery pack (maybe a 5s 10ah for an extra 20v.) That will bring you to 60v hot off the charger which is the standard for 48v. I would also switch the controller to a 9 FET 36-72v 30amp after you get bored of 48v. After 3 years I have now been personally thinking of getting the 9 FET controller for my solution, there about $89. That would increase my torque and top speed to around 33mph+ and be pretty safe for the engine or controller. The plus about the controller you get 1. Regen, 2. three speed 3. cruise control. offcourse those addons are extra.I really wish I could "unlimit" the 20amps and 20mph to say 25amps and 25mph, it would really be a nicer ride. But unless I go get a different controller, and go 48V at around what I paid for the whole bike...I'm going to deal with it for now....still want to go 48v and replace that long pack on the back. I think it looks funny, and i'd like to get one of the Topeak racks:
I appreciate that your updating us about the Phantom X, I think it is a great base bike and you get alot for those $1100.00.
I was looking at this controller....which would hook into my CA so I can set max amps, speed, etc, and I could still go to 48v down the road...opinions?
Only problem I have is right now the controller in the PX has a very clean installation inside a plastic box, that the battery slides into and I think the dimensions of this controller would be too big to fit inside. So I might have to change to the rack and bag mentioned above and go 48v all at once...so could get expensive fast....
