What is this shady Ebay controller?

I stumbled upon this while looking for the 72V/45A units from e-crazyman.

Looks superficially similar, but those thin phase leads make me a little concerned.

Anyone seen these before?

I was looking at thoses too.
The price is right for any one looking to learn controller modding on.
Them tiny wires are reason to flinch.

The world of ebikes is one of the few areas where LOW prices scare me off.

That said, the previous poster is probably correct. Buy it, and immediately start modding it.

Hell, the case is probably worth the initial outlay.

Those look like 14 gauge wires...... on a 1500watt system??? Hrmmm...

I'm running 14 gauge on my max 16amp system.

Well, I guess if you're running 72v, then it's only 21amps at 1500w.

I think I'll throw down for one or two and pop 'em open.

Ecrazyman good vendor.

Not such small wires for a 20 amp controller. 72x 20 = 1440 watts. A few inches of thinner wire won't hurt, but do run 12 guage from there to the motor.

Most likely an ok controller, just not what the high watt boys want. Personally, I think Justin is correct that 48v 50 amps is just as usefull for normal street use. For off road, or wicked stunts, Id think 3000 watts is more what you want.

But I agree, a good base for modding.
