Hi EPFMs,
I just received a new hub motor for m ebike and after connecting it and taking it out on m commute today, I noticed that my controller is getting pretty hot.
The new hub motor is a 1200 watt.
The controller is a 36/48v 30A.
I don't know an other specs for the controller like how many fets but I know that when I got it, the ad said it was rated for 500/600 watts.
The controller gets piping hot. I have it in a black seat post bag. Its one of those rosswheel bags. It even smells hot.
Is this happening because of the obvious? Do I need to upgrade to a controller that is rated for a 1200 watt? Or is it something else?
