Hi...just joined up and hope someone can solve my issue for me...
I have built an E-Quad by fitting a 48 Volt 3kw BLDC motor, Kelly KEB48600 controller and 4 x 12v lead acid batteries to an old Suzuki quad bike...
I built it because I live a small sloping property and pushing a wheelbarrow up hill is no fun. I works really well, heaps of power, stupidly fast(I'm going to change the gearing to slow it down)...
Just this one issue, it's slow and gutless in reverse...
I've tried the setting in the controller and nothing I do makes a difference to the reverse speed/power...
So I start thinking it a phase issue. It sometimes won't take off in reverse without first giving it a little shake to move the rotor.
So before I start swapping wires and "letting the magic smoke out" I'm after a bit of advise from people...
Can I swap two phases, and their corresponding hall wires to test it going backwards at full speed?
