I just upgraded my e-bike for the first time with a new motor and a 30a controller and s900 display (which apparently has a 20a limit). The bike feels smooth and fast to ride, however,
I have a weird issue where when I am going uphill the wattage on the display keeps increasing at a steady pace and has exceeded 2000watts at which point I let go of the throttle. The controller has a 30amp limit and the display 20a so the wattage should go up to 1000-1500w at the most right? You can see the issue at the 1 minute mark on the video.
Also you can see in the video that if I start the bike with full throttle the displayed watts increase at a steady pace as the speed increases which feels wrong, I would expect the watts to max out at around 1000 or 1500 much earlier.
All of that happens only under load
So I 'm wondering if I have connected any of the cables wrong or what is going on exactly, are the watts actually that high or is the displayed number wrong for some reason
Thanks for the help
