24v brushed controller that can be overvolted

[matt912836]

I'm looking to replace my eZip's 24v controller after a short which made it no longer turn on. While biking one day day, the cadence sensor wire got caught up in the pedals while pedalling and wound up ripping the wire before I could notice. The 3 exposed wires that lead to the controller then touched the metal rim shorting the connection, a quick spark flew, and the controller no longer powers on. So now im looking to replace it with another 24v controller, except one that can also take 36v when i want to add an extra battery down the line. I was planning to upgrade the whole bike to 36v but this incident has set me back as I don't have the funds to upgrade the controller and buy another battery at once. So i'd rather get back on my feet first by having the bike work again on 24v than adding an extra battery when I can. Are there any recommendations for a 24v controller that can be overvolted and is compatible with an eZip? Maybe someone has an old 24v currie controller for sale that doesn't have the HVC?

Hi there, Generic Chinese brushed motor controllers available on ebay at very reasonable prices. I bought a 48v one for about £20 for my recycled double hubbie flat track look alike. Slightly harder to come by than the brushless controllers, but available nevertheless. LVC is set at about 40V I think. Not usually easily programable. I think that mine was from Virtual Village. Best regards. 0gri

I would also say just get a new generic controller, and if you want 36v, buy a 36v one.

One option might be findable, but I don't know who sells them anymore. The old Wilderness Energy brushed motor kits came with a controller that could do 24-48v. About a 30 amps controller.

Mabye somebody who carried that stuff still has a NOS controller you could buy. 5 years ago, lots of vendors carried WE kits. Now, WE is out of business.

LOT easier, and likely cheaper too, to just buy two new controllers, one in 24v and the other in 36v.

A lot of the scooter parts online sites sell universal controllers but you have to make sure you buy one that isn't too high amp or it'll burn up the motor. I speak from experience.
