Sorry if this question has been asked before, likely has.
Bought a POS Chinese bike from an online sleazy vendor (yes I should have spent more time checking him out first) and are now trying to get it going. I've basically run the problem down to a faulty controller. It's up inside the top of the integrated battery down-tube, looks to be held in place with silicone. I'm assuming it'll get destroyed just getting it out.
The supposed 750W rear hub is actually only a 250W, so I plan to likely replace it at some point with a true 500W or 750W motor. Getting to the point ... so I want the new controller (something from KT to match the current KT LCD3 display) to be suitable for the future larger motors, say a 25 amp model controller. As it seems this would be overkill on the current 250W motor can I simply dial back the amperage of the new controller using the C5 "Controller Maximum Current Adjustment Mode" to make it more suitable for the existing 250W motor?
The documentation for the LCD3 seems to indicate I can use the C5 function to dial "maximum current vale (A)" which I assume is amps, by up to 5 amps. In effect making a 25 amp controller operate like a 20, or a 22 like a 17 amp controller.
Is this correct? Any and all comments and thoughts greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
