Hi there, new to the forums and apologize in advance if this is the wrong section of the forums to ask a question.
To make a long story shorter
I bought a 500w 24v electric cross for my son and after the first hour literally he out grew the tiny power it had, q few days later he got bored but expressed the want to continue riding so my father had this idea. Why not take the escooter 36v 1000w motor and slap it on the bike?
He gave me the motor and I bought a 36v lithium battery and rebuilt it with a bms more suitable, all said and done. It went better. Couple of weeks later he really wanted to take it to next level so we went to a motocross club to ride on genuine tracks, but the low power wasnt enough, so I ordered a 3000w 72v kit brushless kit.
Had to do some fab work to fit the motor and controller (which grew in size drastically, well.. only thr controller really..) in the frame.
All said and done.. built a new 72v battery and wired everything.
Test ran it today and its just insane, slight touch on the throttle the whole bike just does a wheelie..
I didnt think 3000w would have this kind of power.. without changing motor and stuff which involves a fair bit of work, can I somehow easily limit the power of the motor to say 1500w/2000w or regulate the volts going to the controller/motor?
Im at a loss, Ive watched videos of people riding ebikes with 8/12kw and thinking 3kw would be somewhat equal to a 65/80cc cross but me sitting on this bike Im lifted off the ground, theres no way I can put my son on this thing.
Any ideas how to limit this thing??
Best regards
