    1 controller for 2 (or more) motors

    Thanks vanilla ice, I will check it out right away. 4 vs 2 wheels is mostly for safety and health reasons, plus the inherent additional space utility from a personal transportation vehicle. I have chronic back pain so I'm attracted to recumbent style riding position, but I simply can't afford a...

    1 controller for 2 (or more) motors

    I appreciate the helpful responses, and I stand corrected about several brushless motors in-that apparently unless they are mechanically in sync, they need a separate controller for each motor.

At first I'm probably going to be stuck just converting a bicycle to electric assist, but I'd prefer stripping down (all terrain bicycle tires instead of huge heavy ATV tires), stretching (from 1 to 2 seats) and converting a used quad...

    1 controller for 2 (or more) motors

    I'd like to be able to use 2 or more motors at the same time and I'm on a shoe string budget. Granting the motors are all the same size and model, and as long as I plan the system ahead of time, could I use one amp controller (and battery pack) to cause all the motors to run together at the same...
