It’s only a 2200w motor, yes the controller would have the amps to give it more but the motor will only take what it needs. Like I can’t push 80amps or 3000watts into it (it won’t take it) but could take more amps for say a steep hill temporarily.
My battery bms will only allow 50amps and up to 130amps only for a few seconds.
Ps2 - yes that’s true about the hp- I could get a 5kw,8kw,10kw up to 15kw but I’m just looking for a cruiser not a dragster.
And yup costs go up a 5kw motor is about $600 ish and so on I’d guess $100 buck per 1000kw so ya that’s not for me anytime soon, when u jump up to the 3000kw + motors I’ve found there not pre-geared anymore (prob don’t need it) the motors I’m messing with are 5:1 exiting the motor before it hits my gearing which is anywhere from 1.75:1 - 2,25:1.
I’m roughly 7:1 ish total depending on which sprockets I run.
I climbed a pretty steep hill maybe 100ft up about a 35’ angle - yes it chugged up it and no sign of not making it to the top
Just a little more power would have been nice. This motor “should” add a bit of push to add to the fun factor....
I didn’t proof read any of this, I gotta make dinner I’ll fix my grammar or errors later.
Ps2- ya there’s a lot of stuff I had to learn about electricity during this project- “lots of on the throne” reading/calculating.
And thanks-
Oh I brought it over to my nephews b-day party last wkend (big yard) I should of took a video. About 6kids on those power wheels cruising about/ (4-8) yr olds, I powered it down to about 10mph max, my kids had a blast cruising with the kiddies mine would clime anything where the youngsters powersheels wouldn’t even touch (all torque). Two woman approached me on where I purchased it and if they could ride it and couldn’t keep there eyes off it the whole time and were amazed how quiet it was. Told them maybe nextime when my wiring was 100% done. (My excuse) they’d flip, get hurt and sue me most likely. So nope not gonna happen.
Fully charged I’m at 65v and the controller and battery bms shuts down at 42v for battery longevity etc.
Top speed I’m not sure- feels like 18-20 possibly 25 tops I really haven’t topped it out on flat straightaways yet but for my area, tight wooded trails/hills it’s plenty for now. Keeping torque I need for hills. My trails on the regular 200x I barely got outa 3rd. Well most of the time.
Ps2-yes I started out w/a smaller wattage motor but I’m changing it out to a 2200w hopefully this weekend,
I’ve got a variety of front/ rear sprockets to choose from now too.
