over volting ezip trailz

[shawnbfromjersey]

I just over volted my 2008 trailz to 36v im hooked. I didnt even think the controller would take it. But she did. And the speed is so much faster and the experience is so much more fun. If u have a ezip trailz no matter what year find out your max voltage and use it!

Notes on overvolting the eZips
Overheating can be a problem!
Most heat production occurs at low speeds-heavy throttle. So ...
Pedal assist getting up to speed and climbing hills.


Yeah.
The older controllers were great!
No HVC (High Voltage Cut-off).
I wish they, or equivalent, were still available.
Previously, I have built 25.9V (7s) Li-ion packs in the OEM eZip cases. (25.9V 31.2Ah)
In conjunction with my 16T mod, this supplied ~20mph!

The same eZip battery pack can fit 29.6V (8s) 31.2Ah of 18650 cells. (No known alternative capable controller!)
This should provide a "legal" 20mph without the torque loss due to re-gearing.
I feel the 25.9V w/16T mod to be of "acceptable" performance, 29.6V wo/16T mod should be "impressive", while still "legal"!
8s dedicated chargers are scarce! Recommend the iMax B8+ as a reliable balance charger.

Late 2008 and most newer controllers have a HVC near 30V.
Still, 7s 25.9V Li-ions are a noticeable improvement! (29.4V fully charged.)
If you buy an upgrade 36V controller, 33.3V and 37V are nice. (TNCscooters.com has Currie plug-n-play controllers)

With connector mods, most controllers will work.

Many differing voltage trials, theory and applications.

Used in conjunction with possible gear ratio mods.

Been there done that 8) Just watch the heat build up on the motor and you'll be fine. Mine does 27 mph on a stock currie controller at 36v lifepo4.

has anyone ever demonstrated this HVC that he mentioned? i am curious about how they implement it and i expect it can be spoofed so you could use the 36V.

there have been several mentions of a controller HVC but i have not seen any evidence of it yet. but if it is there we should be able to defeat it.

That would be great.
Unfortunately, the last eZip controller I opened was filled with some sort of rubbery gel.
An alternative material to "epoxy filled"?
A real horror to extract board ... etc.

Removing the HVC would be great, if possible.
Better! ... would be removing, or adjusting, the LVC on a 36V or 48V controller.

Anyone find a 48V (or 36V) brush controller without LVC, or adjustable? ("modable")
Ideally with dimension of 7.0cm or less, to fit in eZip rack. (ex. 11.1 cm x 6.9 cm x 3.8 cm)
