mr.pibb said:Ok you said you were getting max temps of 110C. Are you running at the full 40A or only like half?
I will be also buying a controller probably this weekend too. Are you pretty happy with the crystlyte and data logging?
It seems like the best route to go from what I see.
I am running the full 40A on the crystalyte controller. The temperature datalogger was separate from the controller and was only being used as a display for current winding temps.
I am not sure the Crystalyte is the best solution if you want to start without pedaling first. I chose sensorless because I did not want the possible reliability issues of hall sensors since having to replace them was difficult due to the motor design. If one fails you have to completely disassemble the wheel, fix the sensor and then reassemble the wheel. The bike as-is has been bulletproof but the pedaling start is not an option for some folks. Personally, it is not too big a deal but it would be nice to start without having to pedal. This bike is a commuting tool and is often ridden in 100F+ temps so the option of not pedaling at all would be nice. I have a pedal bike that weighs 25 pounds for excercise so the 95 pound A2B Metro needs to be self powered.
