There is no greater value in a high power full featured ebike controller on the market today
This controller is the awesome result of a group effort to explore the new 116 based 18 fet controller boards. Everything you see here is what happens when we develop in a pubic forum.
This is an Open Source Mod Thread and anyone is free to duplicate any of the mods you see here for profit or personal use. Our number one goal is the advancement of the Electric Revolution and screw anybody who just wants to make a quick buck

(above) This button allows you to switch the controller between 100V range to 50V range.
(above) The traces end up as a 6AWG equivalent. Your input connectors WILL melt before these traces peel up
Above:
Dont underestimate this "3 speed switch". It is actually much better than a speed governor - it is a throttle governor. The difference is that a true speed governor would allow you to accelerate at your full current limit up to the new maximum speed. Useless really. A Throttle governor on the other had governs the throttle input signal which in turn governs the current limit in a sense. If you set the speed limit to 50% it will be the same as applying only 1/2 throttle so you dont pull as many amps.
Example: Using these 3 settings in the software with a current limit of 100A
100% - Applying full throttle results in huge bursts of current and acceleration up to top speed
50% - Applying full throttle results in moderate acceleration up to half speed
25% - Applying full throttle results in the bike just creeping up to 1/4th max speed
Anyone who has ever had a 100A bike will understand - this is hugely useful. When you want to get crazy you want a very responsive throttle but when you are just cruising with the wife this is wasteful and uncomfortable. Setting the speed to medium or low will make the throttle much less responsive and will make your pack last a lot longer.
Awesome feature!

There will be a separate "For Sale" thread where you can ask questions about pricing, shipping, combo's, etc.
Please - Lets try to keep it Technical
As you can tell this is a Crystalyte spin-off of the "18 Fet Instant Start Infineon" boards. The Chip is a 116 and it is NOT an infineon but you will find that much of the information we have learned about the Infineon controllers applies.
