mistercrash: Thank you for your excellent contributions, written and in photos, on this forum. They were very educational. I have a Motorino XPh. Steve Miloshev said that the controller is made for 72 V, but they used 48 V since it would exceed 32 km/h. I bought the ERide 48 V 26 AH Lithium (I upgraded from my 48 V 20+14 AH SLAs, one being on floor and one being under the seat). This made a big difference compared to the under-performing two sets of SLAs.
I bought an eBay 48 V 20 AH duct tape style battery which I place under the seat, and soldered the power plug to make it work with the XPh (I regret doing so, I should have bought 25 or 30 AH; it cuts out now and then, which I presume to be a result of overdischarge, unless the circuit breaker is faulty).
Here is a question I would like to ask you, and others on this forum:
However, without changing the controller (I do not have that much skill, as you and others, electrically), I would like to try 60 V (72 V might be too much), as that could mean that it would be 65-68 V when hot off the charger. I would do this with a Ping battery (it'll be expensive), possibly 60 V 30 AH. Why did you change to a Lyen controller? Could you have used the stock controller for 60 V operation? Is there damage to the 48 V to 12 V converter for lights/circuitry?
Thank you in advance.
