To hit 36 MPH, I don't know of a system that can do it at 44v under load and 30A max for acceleration. If you know of one, please let us know so we can start selling it! That would be of great interest to us. This particular motor will get nowhere near that speed on so few amps, it is wound for high speeds.
By the way, Leamcorp, How would we know you were going to buy the 1000W motor? We sold you the controller before you even bid on the 1000W motor... We are not to blame for selling you the 35A controller.
If you would like a brand new 40A Crystalyte Controller, We can upgrade you from your 35A controller to a 40A controller for FREE. Just send us back your 35A controller, and we will send you out a new one. This will work a lot better with the motor for sure... and we would be happy to help you out.
I am not saying you need 60+ Amps to get to 35+ MPH on 48V, I am just saying that when we tested these motors, our power meters were showing 62 Amps under acceleration on our demo controllers. Will it get there with 40A or so? Maybe, but not with 30. This is a fact.
I'm not trying to pick a fight with you here but things need to be set as your claim is out of bound.
I've contacted you last October to buy a controller that will work with BMC 400 or 600w. And I bought it shortly after that initial conversation. After the order, you said you don't have a working BMC controller and you are testing to see which one works best for 600w motor and will have something in couple of weeks. Okay, thats fine, I'll wait till you figure things out.
We'll I contacted you In January to see where my controller is and you didn't even know that you owe me a controller. I had to remind you over couple of email that you owe me a controller. Still no biggie.
At that point, you said you still don't have a good BMC controlller yet and still testing few controllers. At that point, I've decided to get the Crystalyte controller as I didn't want to get bogged down again with loss of your short term memory. And for your information - I do have a Crystalyste 40amp controller, which you sold to me at extra cost and at higher cost than if I just bought it elsewhere from the start. But I continue to have faith.
As for the motor - who would advertise a motor that it will run X miles per hour without telling people that you are running it with *****60amp controller*****. Why not just go and say it will go 100mph and its GPS verified at 51v. Only thing you forget to mention is that you have to use a 150amp+ controller.
Using you logic, lets do couple of examples using Ebike.ca's simulator,
1) 48v, 50amp, crystalyte 406 will give me - 38-39mph
2) 48v, 50amp, crystalyte 405 will give me - 47-48mph
3) 48v, 50amp, crystalyte 5303 will give me - 46-47mph.
Other than 5303 - I wouldn't consider 405 or 406 near 40mph motor and no one runs it like that (few may, not most). I can't imagine Justin at Ebike.ca advertising that his 405 will do 47-48mph - GPS verified. Funny thing is - you said 60v should be maximum for this motor. Last I heard, people were running 72v or even higher with their 40x hubs. So basically I've just paid double for what I could of gotten with 40x hubs using your logic.
The idea is to find a motor that is EFFICIENT at lower voltage and output. Not to buy a motor that needs and amperage that is not even normal in this crowd.
Even now, I took this as a life lesson and took it in stride. But to say you didn't know or make claim thats out of acceptable range, even for this crowd, is not cool.
Edit - by the way, my battery is 48v and runs at 52v nominal with 55.6v off the charger. So I'm not using 44v (what the hell is that - use 36, or 48v convention).
