Hello -
Great site, metric tons of e-bike info. N00bie post, please excuse me if this has been answered...
I have a Wilderness Energy BD36 (brushed) kit that I ran with 2 sets of 3x12ah SLAs for a few seasons, then switched to LiFePO4 last season. The original controller seemed to work fine for a number of months, then I think I zorched it at the end of last year. The symtom - the wheel will spin fine w/o load, but as soon as I get on, pedal, then hit the throttle, the power drops to zero and the red light on the throttle fades out.
I assumed the controller was zorched, but if anyone thinks otherwise, please lemme know. I have not changed the brushes in the motor after 3 seasons of use (if that makes a difference).
So, I bought a replacement controller on ebay, but the wires don't match up. Based on this board, seems like a common problem. Uploading a pic of the controller, and the specs of the unit are listed on ebay in my signature line.
Anyone wired up this combination? I searched the wiring diagram topic, but didn't see that specific combo... Thanks in advance.
