Hi - I have a Dirodi Rover (Australia). The dirodi has no security function - apart from removing the battery.
The controller is housed under the seat. I installed a key-switch by cutting the positive supply to the controller and inserting the switch into that line,
I used a switch I bought on Amazon. The switch has no current rating but the blurb said it was designed for a moped or scooter. There is limited space in the controller housing area A automobile switch won’t fit.
I measured the current drawn by the controller. It averages just over 1 amp (48v) but will spike to 3 amps or more when the bike accelerates.
I could not hear any arcing In the switch. I’m concerned that the switch doesn’t have sufficient rating for the purpose.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!
