I have a 1200 watt ebikeling rear motor with 48 volt 35 amp. 1680 peak watt controller. with a unit pack power 52 volt 20 amp battery. on a gary fisher tarpon mtb weight is 61 lb. I am 150. total 210. I can get too speed motor 36. flat. I love it. but. can I. get a 1200 watt 20 amp dc converter booster. I put ferro fluid in 5ml. which I understand will allow the motor to take up to 40 percent more juice. ? now. I am not looking to hot rod. and usually will keep it around 24 mph. but I would like a sleeper and ma6ne get 40 plus out of it. yeah. would this help I read that it will use up some more battery but that's ok. my biggest work trip is 20 miles round trip. or 30 miles would be a fun ride. my set up allows me to go about 50 to 60 miles staying in the optimum 85 c 20 doc. what will adding the booster do. and what else aboud I do. or so I need to do. sergio. thanks
 
What will the booster do? In this case it would possibly increase you voltage beyond what your controller can handle (which would be useless - especially considering you are already running a 52 volt battery) and reduce the total amps that your system can draw (which will be worse than useless). In short, it would slow you down - probably in top speed and in acceleration.

I've run two similar "1500 watt" boosters and the most either ever delivered was about 1100 watts. You are currently drawing about 1700 watts. The "1200 watt booster" probably won't deliver any more than the ones I'm using. The watt numbers they are giving are in the most optimal situation and are typically the watts drawn, not the watts delivered.

If you run two of these converters in parallel (some ads claim this will work some don't mention it) allowing you to deliver around 2000 watts at a higher voltage AND change to a 72 volt controller you might be able to go a bit faster.
