    AE966600 Throttle error

    I have an 96800 and haven't had this issue. Does the controller not work at all with the throttle plugged in? Does it show a voltage input value for the throttle?

    ME1507 vs Zero 75-7

    Just had a few questions regarding the MotEnergy motors vs Zero Motorcycles motors. From what I've read, Zero's motors are very similar to a few of the MotEnergy ones. If I read correctly, Zero used to even use the ME1507 and ME1917 motors, somewhere around 2012 or earlier. Someone correct me...

    Basic question: What does

    Maybe this is a vague question, but what exactly goes into matching a controller up to a motor? I've got two ev projects complete now, but both use motors from QSMotors which were already paired and set up with a controller from them. I can modify various parameters of the controller, but I...

    ME0913 from Zero bike 2012 in buggy and minimum controller?

    What exactly was the question you had? Was it whether the motor would be enough, or the controller? If the motor was the question, ai belie e that motor should EASILY be able to power that buggy quite well, as long as it's geared right. IMO, gearing it low for the extra torque makes for alot...

    Programming APT AE96600 controller (update: NOT recommended, unstable program)

    Does anyone know if there's a way to get the .dat file for your existing firmware on your controller? I have the program that can write a .dat file to it, but I would also like to be able to GET the current .dat file that is written to it. That way if something goes wrong when I write a new...

    Voltage drop off and your KWH per mile

    Ok, so it doesn't look completely linear for sure, but it does look fairly close judging by the charts. At least down to around 3.1v, which would align with what dominik said in his experience. @Dogdipstick Just to be sure, when you say you get 60-160wh on your "bikes", are you referring to...

    QSMotor hub motors, low start torque?

    Yea, I believe my battery is fine. I use the same battery on my other build with the mid drive. So I don't believe the battery to be an issue. It uses Tesla 21700 cells with 26 in series and 17 in parallel.

    Voltage drop off and your KWH per mile

    Ok thanks for the info! It sounds like judging by yours, that it is a fairly linear drop off down to around 3.1v, then anything under that it pretty poor and drops off fast.

    QSMotor hub motors, low start torque?

    Yea, I've had 3 controllers from them now and they are all frustratingly locked in different ways on completely different settings. There's like no pattern to what the lock, it makes no sense. It may very well be that it just doesn't feel as torquey because it is "geared" higher with the bug...

    Voltage drop off and your KWH per mile

    Thanks for the response. Yes, I am running 26s. Ok, so yours is fairly linear. What about below 3.3, or is that usually your cutoff? 80-160wh per mile for a 380 pound machine makes my 150wh sounds like perhaps it is about right. My concern was that I did the math looking at Zero motorcycles...

    QSMotor hub motors, low start torque?

    @millhouse Ah, perhaps I will have to ask around and see what everyone else set theirs at. So unfortunately I had two wrong wires on my APT96800 controller touch each other and break something... So I had to get another and I got a 961000. Both were supposed to be preconfigured by QS Motor...

    Voltage drop off and your KWH per mile

    I took my electric conversion trike for my first serious range test yesterday and unfortunately got stranded with a dead battery. =[ So I had two main questions in this thread. My first is about voltage drop for batteries. Is voltage drop linear? I built my battery out of tesla 21700 cells...

    Motor theory? Size/rpm, wattage.

    Makes sense. Weight in an electric surfboard is definitely super critical. So is it feasible that the ME1616 motor I linked could likely be pushed to much higher KW if cooled with cold river water like the MHZ, just that it's efficiency would drop?

    Motor theory? Size/rpm, wattage.

    Thanks for the posts and information! It being water cooled, does make sense that it'd be able to take quite a bit more power before overheating. I suppose the more answers I get, sometimes the more questions I have. @mxlemming I realize rpm X torque equals power, but to me it seems like even...

    Electric Surf Board

    Would you be able to post any pics and such? Also, what motor/controller do you have? Are you looking to part anything out (such as the pump) or only sell it all as one whole? Sent from my LM-Q720 using Tapatalk

    Motor theory? Size/rpm, wattage.

    But I've seen Youtube videos with that specified motor, in a surfboard, travelling at around 30 mph. So it has to be some degree true. Simply put: in order to propel yourself through the water at that speed, it would require that kind of power. Here is one example of said video...

    Motor theory? Size/rpm, wattage.

    I'm bringing this topic back up, as I'm still not 100% understanding everything. So my take away from this post was that: A. Manufacturers are most likely inflating their power numbers for better sales or they are rating them at very short "max power" times, like for a few seconds. In...

    Apt961000 controller

    MrModify Thanks for the info! It seems you are correct. That is super weird that one of them would tell me they are "out of stock" for several months but the other is able to sell them. Seems rather fishy or something. Unless maybe they are from different branches of the company or...

    QSMotor hub motors, low start torque?

    That is possible. I'll have to mess with some settings and see if I can get anything to feel a bit better. I'll probably just be taking shots in the dark, but we'll see.

    QSMotor hub motors, low start torque?

    Ah, strange. I can definitely say mine doesn't put out the low end torque feeling like you are saying yours did. It is tough to say though, since mine is quite a bit heavier, although it's also a bigger motor/controller, so you'd think it may balance out a bit. The settings for the controller...

    Programming APT AE96600 controller (update: NOT recommended, unstable program)

    Oh man, that definitely sucks. =[ I guess electric conversions isn't a thing to get into unless your ok with possible throwing away a chunk of money. =/ Any word on that manual you got those light blinks from? The entire controller is covered in electronic potting, so it's not looking good...

    Programming APT AE96600 controller (update: NOT recommended, unstable program)

    @bingbwy Thanks so much, that could be of some help. Unfortunately still no luck with the controller, so I am beginning to get a bit scared, as I paid quite a bit for the controller. It'd suck to have to junk it due to what is probably such a tiny problem. Just to be sure, the blinking you...

    Programming APT AE96600 controller (update: NOT recommended, unstable program)

    @bingbwy Any link to where I can download that new software? Ugh.... So I managed to buy an APT961000 and it's been working good for a week. Now all of a sudden it won't work... I was working on the wiring for the speedometer and the only thing I can think of is that the pulse output wire...
