A couple of years ago, i killed the controller in my 2007 Zapino scooter. I started a thread about it here: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=74412. In that thread, along with help from ES, I found the controller is really two smaller controllers. The motor is a BLDC hub motor with 6 hall wires and 6 phase wires (3 for each controller).
When that failure occurred, I had just replaced the sealed AGM batteries with 60V of Enerdel NMC based Lithium batteries and an onboard charger. I figured I would do a larger upgrade on the scooter by replacing the hub motor with a non-hub motor (I chose the ReVolt RV-160 Short), and a Kelly KLS7240D controller, and then bumping the battery pack to 72V. I was going to replace the swingarm with something of my own design that would allow this type of change.
Long story short, I worked on it for a couple of months, but never finished it, and I need to clear out my garage so I want to get this thing into a reasonably fixed state. I figure the fastest way to do this is by getting a controller to replace the one that was on the zapino. I don't necessarily want to replace it with another Zapino controller, since they're crappy. If I were to replace it (and use the existing hub motor), I'm looking for suggestions on controllers to get. Also, Is there any controller that would run this 6 hall wire/6 phase wire motor? Or do I have to get 2 controllers?
The other way I could go is to use the Kelly KLS7240D controller with a new Hub motor. Does anyone have any suggestions for a hub motor that would be good for this? The existing hub motor has about an 11" diameter, and has a 3.5-10 tire on it.
Thanks!
