I have a Schwinn Stealth 1000. Everything is stock other than I'm running 12s 10ah Lipo (50.4v max) instead of the factory 36v 12ah SLA's. I ran in this configuration last year with zero issues. Stock 1000w motor did great and top speed was around 20-25mph. I had it down over the winter and ended up replacing one of my lipo packs. This time around when I hooked it all up I added an aftermarket throttle with integrated voltmeter and key switch (ebay special). Now when I run it I'm only seeing about 15mph.
So I'm only seeing 3.4v being supplied from the controller to the throttle which if I understand correctly should be more like 5v. As a result I'm seeing signal wire voltage of .8v at rest, motor begins spinning once I get to 1.1v with throttle and wide open throttle is only 2.6v signal going back to controller. Consequently the maximum voltage I'm seeing at the motor is 36.6v.
So what could be causing this low voltage supply from the controller to the throttle?
Of course in the end I'm open to replacing the factory controller with a high quality one more suitable to my setup but if I go that route what should I look into and do I want a controller designed for 36v or one designed for 48v applications knowing that my safe operating range is between 38v-50v?
Thanks for any help you can give!
