Hi
My first post, after lurking for about 5 years and reading lots of useful info! But now I've got some specific upgrade questions.
My 36V battery died, and my controller isn't in the best of condition, so I'm thinking it would be a great time to upgrade my kit to something with a bit more power!
Motor is still going strong after 5 years, so I'm curious as to whether I could run it at 48V, and how it would perform?
The motor is a front geared hub labelled as: 8Fun BPM36V350W 26(13).
If i got a new 48V battery and a 48V controller, will the motor handle 48V OK at whatever maximum power the controller can deliver? Am I likely to see any significant speed and/or torque increase? At 36V I was getting sufficient torque until about 28km/h then a weaker increase up to 32km/h in good conditions (at which point power was cut off by controller). For an upgrade I was hoping to get similar torque and speeds of at least 42-45km/h.
Any recommendations for a 48V controller for this motor, if it will handle the juice?
As an alternative I'll probrably upgrade the motor to MagicPie 5, so don't necessarily want to buy controller to give it try, if there is likely to be no performance increase running the old motor at 48V.
Thanks
Jamie
