It has been confirmed. The controller is not compatible with a Mac. I will see what Lyen has or try to find a used one.

Can a Mac motor even be run with a sensorless controller?

Did and it just chattered back and forth.

48v40a crystalyte 6fet controller and 48v 20ah lifepo4 battery. So 1920 watts. The motor is designed for 48v. Does the Mac motor need a different throttle? All I need to know is the color sequence of the phase wires inside a 500w Mac from left to right when looking at the wired side. Not from...

I thought I had it correct because it ran fine under no load. With a load on it the motor starts normally then quickly looses power and makes a chatter sound. I tried just swapping two wires but that didn't work. One combination made it run in reverse. Is there anyone that has mated these two...

Hey Guys, I am replacing my HT35 with a Mac. My controller is the 4840 crystalyte from electric rider. Does anyone know the proper combination of phase wires ( Y,G,B)? I do not need the hall sensor setup because I just run sensorless. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Gypsy

Ya, that is the issue. I just wanted to be sure before I took it apart lol. Thanks for your help! :D

Would that cause the issue even if nothing is connected? The motor is dragging with no power connected to it.

Frans, did you ever finish your build?

Hey All, my Xlyte HT35 is suddenly dragging. When hand rotated it feels just like the normal drag but about 5x greater or more. It is steady and smooth just like the normal drag you get from the stator-rotor interaction. This is the same fully connected and on as well as everything...

I have driven my eBike for over a year now and am still loving it. Lately lots and lots of people have been approaching me about my bike. I live in Oklahoma and am mainly around NW OKC. I think that after watching me ride for a few years they are starting to trust me and are curios about ev...

She already has the trike. It is basically a recumbent with 2 rear wheels. I think a QQ motor would work but I am not sure about the controller. Would any 36V controller work or will I need a special one for the SLA chemistry?

Hey fellas. I am trying to do a build for an elderly lady who wants a trike. She can't afford any Lithium based solutions but on a trike I can mount some SLAs. Anyone know what would be the most affordable motor, controller and battery for that. 24V or maybe 36v. She would be happy with some...

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good and affordable rim to lace up at xlyte HT35? The stock rim that came with it will not stay true. Any comments on rim width would be helpful as well. The tire I am running is a Schwalbe Marathon Plus 26"x 1.75" and v brakes.

I buy from Electric Rider. They are located in Texas and have excellent customer service. http://www.electricrider.com/Default.asp The G8 is a really strong geared hub motor. http://www.electricrider.com/Electric-Bike-Geared-Hub-Motor-Laced-to-Rim-p/g-w.htm
