It's alive! I'm tickled pink that I was right to take a chance and order without the factory controller. The motor is wound as 2 consecutive 3 phase motors, simply with the timing and hall sensors one tooth different. That has a lot of benefits, including the potential for extreme power using 2 small economical controllers, a high and low regen force (or 3 different by using 2 different regen force settings on the controllers). The motor works fine with one controller or both, so if I blow a controller I can still hobble home on one after disconnecting the other. It also means smoother quieter startup.
I'm going to run it in stock form at first using a pair of 18 fet controllers each cruising along easily at 75A peak. Later I'll ventilate the motor and go to a pair of 24fets for 48fets of 4110 goodness and get extreme with her, but a solid 11kw right out of the gate on just 20s should be fun, especially when the extra efficiency alone means at least 1kw more at the wheel for free.
Now that I figured out the 10 hall wires and proved 2 controllers runs it, I just have to get it on a bike.
