This is my first real post here
Hello!
I only just bought
my first electric vehicle overall, last night. I haven't received it yet. I have a week or so to buy the additional components that - ideally - I would have wanted from the start...
Do you know of a quality kit, offering matching hub motor and controller?I am interested to buy a (minimum) 3000W RATED motor. QS are a great quality brand. The QS205 or QS260 seem good enough for what I want/need here. RATED: A 3000W rated, quality, motor will easily output 7kW continuous, and 20kW peak power. When combined with a controller of equal quality. Fardriver are a great quality brand. The 72300 (battery current 100A, phase current 300A) seems good enough for what I want/need here.
Why I want to upgrade the purchased bike?
It's not mountainous here, but hilly, and many driveways have a steep gradient. The other day I measured a steep one that goes up to my local mechanic, and it is 23°. This requires 250A phase current (at the weight of this scooter and myself). An ordinary Chinese scooter and motorbike alike does not have quality components of this degree, I know this already before I have received the scooter. And, I know it comes with only one 60V 20Ah battery, which is nothing, so to speak. At the very, very, very minimum I need here 60V 40Ah (and then motor and controller will get hot quickly still). Initially, I was going to buy a similar one as in the photo, but of far greater quality (EU build, not Chinese) and running at 78V 36Ah/54Ah. That one would have been fantastic here (anywhere). But they can't deliver currently (warzone). I hope to buy my next electric vehicle from them soon?
While, this Chinese manufacturer (seemingly one of the higher end of Chinese quality, as per what I was able to investigate), they haven't even responded
what the space measurements of the various battery locations are (seen my cool, pictured, question I sent them?). So, I still can't buy additional batteries until I can measure those spaces myself, it seems. By that time that I receive this scooter, I might as well have gotten to the point of putting together my own battery pack for this scooter. We'll see. It would be my first such thing to do.
I preferably want to run LiFePo4.
Has anyone run an electric hub motor and matching controller on LiFePo4 (LFP)? What Ah and V are you running it on? What is your experience, would you do it again?
I live offgrid, solely run on solar power and LiFePo4 batteries, so I have sufficient DC experience (though, in my house I actually installed both circuits, AC and DC, to have flexibility for all my kitchen appliances).
Anyway, now you know what I am up to. How about you?
