First post here, sorry for any mistakes.

I bought an electric motorcycle, but the seller doesn't provide much technical information, only the "minimum," such as Battery: 72v50A, rated power: 8kW and Peak power: 10kW. So I had to figure out the rest myself and so far, I've mapped out the following features of the motorcycle:

Controller: Votol EM-150 (180A peak battery current)
Motor: YmMotor 17-inch hub with 28 pairs (56 magnets) and 50mm magnet height => This is probably the model (as both the appearance and the available information best match what the seller advertises).
Battery: LiFePo 72v50A, continuous discharge of 100A and peak between 150/180A (I can't determine it for sure yet)

I know very little about electric vehicles, and this is my first time using Votol's software. I still don't know what these FW values mean (4000/6000/13500 = what?). They're well above what the software manual says (<2300). Likewise, I'm also unsure if the phase current should be set to 9960 or 9000, could the 9000 be the maximum for my model?

I'd appreciate it if you could help me find the most appropriate settings to achieve optimal torque and top speed without compromising the lifespan of the parts.

Ps: In case anyone is wondering about the seller not providing this information, where I live, the company imports these motorcycles from China, assembles them in the country and then resells them under their brand, but without providing any information about these electrical/mechanical components, torque etc. So I'm investigating not only to improve the bike, but also to share this information with other buyers/consumers of this brand.

I’ve only been looking into this topic for a few weeks, but my impression is that you’d be safer with newer software. For example, the bus bar current on Page 1 actually seems to be the regenerative current, and in that case, 100A would already be quite a high safety limit. Well, you have EBS set to 10% of the current limit on Page 2, which in your case would be 18A.

Maybe one of the veterans will see this thread and can provide more specific information.
