Hello I've got a 5kw 72v Alibaba ebike running a QS style motor and generic 80a controller.
Overall it's a very enjoyable machine and gets absolutely insane range but the power delivery is weird and inconsistent.
Sometimes it has a ton of torque and really wants to rip up to about 35mph, then it will sometimes hit a wall and hold speed for a little before blasting off with more power up to 50mph. Other times it will rip right up to 45mph before showing any signs of power reduction. Then randomly I'll hit this wall at 30mph in the middle of hard open throttle and I'll lurch forward a tiny bit because the change in acceleration is out of nowhere. Other times it seems to have low/random power at low speed too...
wondering if this could be my generic controller or maybe the gauge of my wires? I don't really know the exact models of anything, just hoping the symptoms of my issue will help someone push me in the right direction.
I balance the cells before my rides and I've only ever gone about 20 miles which brings me to 75% voltage so it's not that my battery is ever running too low
