Hi Guys,
I am working on an EV gokart. It was working fine last week, but today I noticed at start up there is no response from pressing on the throttle. I'm using a sevcon gen4 motor controller and the motor is a motenergy1115ME. I checked the batteries and they are charged. I plugged in the...
72 volt Sevcon Gen4 size 8
I think they are lithium batteries
The kart is around 300+ pounds with the driver.
These are the trip analyzer graphs for both trips.
This is with the kart wheels off the ground.
This is a test run around a parking lot
why is the mph almost half while on the...
I'm working on a EV goKart with a motenergy ME1115 motor. The top speed while the wheels are off the ground is 51.8 the top speed in about a 1/4 mile straight away on the ground is 31.5
Is this normal? Even if the straight away was 2 miles I don't think the kart would reach upper 40mph so is it...
Thanks for the response.
I found a couple other threads about programming a sevcon controller with a motenergy motor. It seems like most people were referred to John at Motenergy for the correct motor controller settings. I e-mailed him so I hope I get a response.
Hi Guys,

I'm using the Motenergy ME1115 PMAC motor with a Sevcon Gen4 size 4 motor controller. I have the usb-can connector and the DVT software, but I really have no idea where to begin modifying the configuration, I know how to use the DVT software and read the tutorials, but I am not sure...
Hi, Thanks for the quick response.
Anyone have a suggestion on the best way to keep track of which files from the analogger correspond to each time trial? I know the files have the date, but we're testing the kart after making each change to the motor controller so at the end I load the files...
Hello Guys,
I am working on a EV Kart and we are using a Cycle analyst and analogger to track the speed. The speed is showing on the analyst, but I do not know what to plot or how to view the speed of the run. I have the analogger hooked up to my laptop and I know how to retrieve the CA files...
