Hi everyone, hope im posting at the right place for advice.
Previous Setup
Batt: 48V29ish(AH) Sanyo
Controller: see attached (JH48V6G-36/48V 15/17A +/-1A)
Display: see attached (EN06-Ignore the E08. Hall sensor was dmg on the 350w therefore the 500w)
Motor: see attached (Bafang 48V350W)
Thumb Throttle Only. No PAS used.
Max speed result from the above setup=37-38km/hr on flat with fully charged battery on 16inch rim
Recently bought a new Bafang 48V500W hub motor to see if I can go faster than 37-38km/hr with all the above same setup. Nothing changes. Everything was bought from the same supplier which I have been supporting online. The only thing I did was switched the motor core from the 350W with the new 500W so that I don't have to build a new rear wheel since supplier said the hub housing and cover for both are the same.
Ok, when I try to run the 500W, everything went smoothly. No jerks or funny sound from the motor. Everything worked like how it should be, BUT the speed of this 500W didnt want to go pass 30-31km/hr. So I guess maybe I should try to get a new controller with higher amp output, so I did.
I bought a new 30A KT Controller with LCD03
Same thing, bike runs fine. With much better torque this time BUT the speed stays the same. it didnt want to go pass 30-31km/hr. I tried a few P1 setting like 46, 100, 102 (5.1 ratio x 20magnets) and also 146 and also with combination of P2-0 to 6 etc which the supplier advised. Nothing I do seems to make the bike go any faster. So the next alternative I did was put my wife's 14inch 36V350W motor on and try to see what happen. Surprisingly, the bike can go abt 34-35km/hr. Does hall phase angle got to do with anything here? Bafang motor mostly come in 120dg. Not sure what is the angle for KT controllers. The supplier sells 18A controller with 120dg phase angle stated on it for 500W motor but I think 18A is a little lacking, that is why i went ahead with 30A KT from another supplier instead.
Note: My wife's motor doesnt state the hall phase angle on it. Its a generic one that comes with her bike. Only says 36V48V.
Please let me know what other information you guys needed with this. Any input is much appreciated! Ride safe everyone!
