wineboyrider said:Your controller says 36v 15amps so you should be getting at least 500w of peak power? If you are then it probably isn't speed (current) limited. I have overvolted many of currie scooters to around 12s lipo without problems, but it is pushing the limits of the voltage caps.
ElectricGod said:Don't bother trying to upgrade that controller. just get another one that will do what you want. By the time you hack that one for more performance, you will have spent more time and money than it's worth.
It's a brushed motor so you could put 1000w through it if you wanted too. The 300w rating is a nominal or average rating. As the motor might start out with 500w peak the watts will slow down as you get up to speed. You can easily push this motor probably up into the 1000w range, but you might overheat the motor, but the motors are cheap so why not give it hell?Elbobbah said:ElectricGod said:Don't bother trying to upgrade that controller. just get another one that will do what you want.

But Will a new controller help if the engine is only 300W?
Will a 36v controller with more current (now 15A) do the trick?
So if I am correct, The output should be 15*36 = 525W, but the engine is only 300W
Or does this have nothing to see with each other?

I like the yi yun controllers best and I buy them from electricscooterparts.comElbobbah said:wineboyrider said:It's a brushed motor so you could put 1000w through it if you wanted too.

Lol good thinking.
So something like this would do the trick?

Speed is 18kph (about 11mph).
This one? If so you could probably do a shunt mod on your fets and up the current? First thing to know is if it is speed restricted so you will have to measure the current from your controller?http://golfcart.en.made-in-china.com/product/JSqQXFyPXGRi/China-300-W-Foldable-Electric-City-Scooters-with-Lithium-Battery.html

Agreed.SlowCo said:First you should test if it is speed restricted by the controller as I described in my post above. Work from there.
