60v 33.8Ah Battery with 70A BMS, 60v controller 48v 1000w motor Advice/Will it work.

[MrMoneymitch]

I stripped everything off a T118 Escooter whole handlebar layout/battery/controllers.

Will I be able to use this on my ebike as the hall sensor and motor wires are exactly the same.

I’m looking to use it as a single motor for now then duel motor once I get new motors (2000-3000w)

I currently have a single 48v 1000w motor that is running on a 48v 20ah battery 25a BMS and 48v controller.

What’s the likely hood of a motor burn out etc.

Any advice will be appreciated, thank you.

Assuming the battery is in good condition, the setup should work. You may need to do some wire swapping, since although they look “exactly the same”, there are no standards, or they are loose at best, but you can get it to run with some simple troubleshooting.
The new controllers are rated at 45A, so at 60v, that’s 2700 watts. Your motor is rated at 1000w continuous, so obviously you can’t run 2700W continuous without burning up the motor, but you can for a shorter period without issue. Heat will kill your motor (or any electronics), so keeping that in check is always required. How long you can run at higher power is something you may need to experiment with, checking the motor temp when you do.
Checking by hand/touch isn’t a reliable method for checking temps, but better than nothing. A temp sensor in the motor is best, but takes openining the motor and running a thin wire for the temp sensor. It’s worth it if you plan to ride the bike hard though, since it’s the only way to know what’s really going on.
Since your motor is 1000W, it’s likely direct drive. DD motor can take advantage of using Statorade ferrofluid, which helps the motor dissipate heat, and dramatically aids cooling. Even if you don’t add a temp sensor, Statorade provides the best insurance from cooking your motor.
Ultmately, it’s up to you and your throttle hand, whether your motor is at risk of burning up. Temp monitoring and cooling give you some cushion.

Hey thanks for getting back to me, yea I used to work in a bike shop so I’ve had my fair share of messing around with motor/hall wires to get the motor running and running in the right direction haha,

I had a look at the stuff you suggested definitely going to buy it has way too many good reviews not to.

Thank you for your help

Sounds like you have an initial plan, plus a plan for future upgrades. Consider starting a thread in the Build Threads subforum so we can monitor your progress as you plan your next upgrades.

I think I may just do that,

I might wait and keep my 48v bike as is and start a separate project.
I want a full suspension bike so I may just get a new frame and start from there. I get paid in a few weeks so I may order 2x 2000wheels and make a duel motor ebike as my battery’s and controllers are already set up to run 2 motors.

Once I get home and unpack I’ll take some photos and start a new post in the build thread so everyone can see what parts I’m starting with.

The handle bars are already set up with the throttle display key start speed settings duel motor and boost etc so it makes my wiring job alot easier later on haha.
