My first TC80 with a 24fet 4115 controller was ready to go at the start of the new Year (6 weeks ago)... I had bought a decent ful suspension frame and fork with 130 and 120 of travel, okay it wasn't really stealthy, since it contained quote a lot of duct tape... But It did what it promised, going well above 75k without the need of any downhill sloping or 2k's of straight...
I rode it for three weeks, i was happy... like i imagine turkeys are a few days before thanksgiving... And then i decided to try it uphill...
The first time i had the all too familiar E-bike grin stamped across my face even hours after that climb: 55k on a pretty steep incline...
The second time was great until about half way... but then i abruptly lost power and it turns out i scorched the windings of the crown :-( i thought this baby would take any kind of beating, but apparently the 75v, 90a battery - controller combo was delivering a little too much....
So i thought about what to do next, after a bit of thought i decided to go for this TC monster again, since i learned it can handle 6000w, i also got me a smaller 18 fet 4110 that i will be hooking up to the v3 computer, so that i can monitor the action a little better. Now i know i could/should do this myself to the bigger controller (since it will handle the job more efficiently), but my knowledge of electronics only goes so far. :?
At the time i built this, i figured something might go wrong, so i kept the good ol' BMS battery 20A, 48v system for commuting, so right now it's back to where we came from. It's an expensive lesson at 700 euros, so if you want to try this, i would suggest hooking it up with the V2 or V3, but i was juist too excited to get that thing riding... The perfect way to get things all wrong
The new TC80 arrived yesterday and Em3ev put my new controller in the mail as well,
So, I'll keep you posted...
