Well, I am happy to report that the issue was the controller. The new one I got today works perfectly! Thank you to everyone for your help in diagnosing the issue!

I took it for a spin with a 52v 20Ah pack that I use for the Bafang BBSHD, and it stuttered as well. To answer you question if lowering the amps when the 60v battery was hooked up, no it made no difference in the stuttering. While I totally understand that the C rating for these cells is...

I double checked the motor, and it has 20 magnets. The controller setup asks specifically for the number of "steel magnets", I take this to mean that I should enter in the actual number of magnets instead of dividing the value by 2. Some other observations and items worth rementioning: 1.)...

Yes, you are exactly right since the one I was originally looking at was not a relay, just more of a passthrough switch. I think I prefer your second approach better, and that is where I am headed with this. The goal is to make it as completely inoperable as possible without the key fob. If...

Ya, and from my investigation, it looks like all leads coming out of the controller are off when the LCD is powered down, and that won’t power up when the jumper is disconnected. I switched gears and decided to add a small step down voltage regulator to the main battery switch leads going to...

I just got the voltage off that jumper, and it is only 8mV...must be just a signal, so that idea using the jumper is a bust, at least with this switch.

Thanks Marty, I think you are absolutely correct from what I have been reading in the Q&A. I will check out your alternative suggestions while I wait for this thing to arrive. I will also get the voltage coming of that jumper.

Thanks for the lengthy response Amber, and to everyone else. I agree that I will need to have it in my hands before doing anything, and determine if it is routing the power from the input to output or simply switching the output side. After reading some of the Q&A on Amazon, it looks like the...

If I am not mistaken, it does also have anti theft door lock connection as well. I will try to get a picture of it that is clear enough. My initial thought was to take the hot side of the anti theft power jumper and connect it to the positive input. Ground the negative input. Connect the other...

I want to add a wireless key fob to my electric scooter build, and I was wondering if anyone could offer some assistance on the best way to connect this one I found on Amazon to the controller anti-theft signal wire. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JFH6VQH

I wondering if the stuttering and heat build up is related to a timing issue since there is no hall sensor from the motor. I know the seller on ebay said the controller works without the hall sensor, but they could have simply lied or said what I wanted to hear.

I just took it for another spin, and I found that I could reduce the stuttering by setting the magnet count lower. I think I counted 20 magnets in the motor when I had it apart. Setting it to 5 helped, but it threw off the speed reading. Also, the motor is wicked hot after about 5 minutes doing...

The hub motor only has 3 phase wires, there is no hall sensor. This is a little 10" hub motor for a scooter, no gears. The controller was purchased separately, but they told me it would work with motors without hall sensors. I was able to take it out for a short spin around the block, and I...

After rebuilding the phase wires to the hub motor, everything seems to be working except I still have the error 7. Since I do not have a Hall connector coming out of the motor, could this be the issue? I was thinking about adding an external speed sensor and attach the signal wire to the white...

This was my first attempt to run the motor having just received the controller. So it appears to have arrived this way. The seller has offered to provide a partial refund, but I will need to take responsibility to get it fixed and I do not feel like waiting another month for a replacement. On a...
