Reversing a Lyen controller

There should be a forward combo. When I had a similar problem, the solution was finding a forward phase combo, then finding the halls combo that worked with it. In my case, I swapped green and blue, then matched that same swap on the halls.
I have a lyen 18fet controller. I ordered the reverse option and have a connector on the controller for this.
Does anyone know how this works exactly? Like, what type of switch would I need.
Once I switch to reverse, can I use my throttle to drive in reverse?

if none of the 36 combos will run it in the direction that you want it to run in with the correct no-load current and correct kv then I would say that even if you had a reversers switch on the controller there is still a possibility that it will not work. forget about full torque and find the lowest no-load current and correct kv..

yes as long as the motor supports it.Offroader said:

I'd try again. I'm sure John will chime in here on which wires to switch, but there should be a proper forward combo.

Is this a direct drive motor? I haven't seen that mentioned although that large of controller I would assume.....
I direct you to the combo chart here: http://www.endless-sphere.com/w/index.php/Determining_the_Wiring_for_a_Brushless_Motor
Lower RH corner of said chart describes how to reverse rotation.

It has to have a forward combo, if it has a reverse one.
Like they say, swap two phase wires and see what it does. Seems to work for others.!

Any type of switch will do.
Once you switch to reverse, the speed is controlled by the throttle, same as when the motor is spinning forward.
You can test it by connecting the 2 connectors to each other (instead of connecting them to a switch).
My experience (with a 6 FET Lyen) was that the maximal reverse speed is lower than the maximal forward speed.

Thanks, would you happen to know of easy on/off switches that can be mounted on the handlebar?
Funny thing is why would you ever want to go full speed in reverse, I am curious to how controllable going in reverse actually is. Will be fun, and also more fun when people are like a motorbike going in reverse!

If you accidently hit the reverse switch of a bike while moving forward with speed, what would happen?
Would the motor just act as a break for the most part, without enough power to reverse the motor? What you damage anything?
Just trying to decide on if I put a switch on my handlebar and I accidently hit it while accelerating or something.
