    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    I will, once I have a few more details worked out. I found a "local" ebike shop, and the guy seemed to get I would like to simply replace what is there restoring near as can be called original functionality back. He also seemed fairly confident I could continue utilizing the original...

    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    Very comfortable with any electrics, to reiterate, feel very confident with that part. Anything that needs to be soldered and spliced, I can handle. The only issue is making sure the color coding is not deceiving or misleading. Documentation is poor , so would like to be Overly cautious about...

    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    Thank you for the detailed links. May I ask you the same question about the displays compatibility? How do you guys know which displays are compatible with which controllers? Again just a question hoping to learn and understand, what makes the existing display on this "safecastle breeze" bike...

    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    I would suggest this SM 30 amp KT controller. A square wave controller is cheaper than sinewave. (It's just a bit noisier) https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0xXphA Being as you are okay with connecting all the wires, you can reuse your entire motor cable and all the existing components except the...

    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    Yeah and cable adaption I am 100% comfortable with, I have all the crimping tools, and solder anything you can put infront of my down to SM components, use heat melt shrink for items like this, which I assume I will be cutting connectors off of , and adhering to the newer standards... I am just...

    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    Ideally I would Really like to avoid that! If I can find a compatible controller that can utilize the Existing components, that would be prefered! Is there some detail I need to know when selecting a controller to know that will work? Being compatible with the existing running gear? Can I...

    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    I think I am interpreting what you are saying with a little more clarity now, so if I got one of the controllers pictured in this post, I could simply change the 6 pin motor sensor wires, and 5 pin display plugs, and hopefully that would be compatible? That would be perfectly acceptable if I...

    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    So these controllers are a little flexible with their programing and inputs they receive it appears? Good , does it take any special equipment to be able to set these parameters? The simple fact is, im just looking to make this single bike operational, Not trying to get to far into the weeds if...

    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    If helpful at all to define operational compatibility, this is the pinout on the plugs for the controller that exist. This controller has 8 SM plugs, 3 motor power outputs wires, and 2 battery power input wires. To the best of my understanding: Motor sensor is a 6 pin black plug with Red...

    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    Its strange to me there is not a plug and play harness to adapt what I think are "old style" SM plugs to the waterproof ones they seem to be utilizing now? Why dont they have a plug and play option out there? Or at least new old stock of controllers with those SM plugs and I assume older...

    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    Its been a few months since I have tried to tackle this issue, but I believe I did check the motor pole wires by shorting poles like that , and did get the clear cogging and "regen braking" effect on each combination of the 3 power wires. So I assumed because of the construction of the...

    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    Is there a quick and dirty protocol to test the motor? I did test it the way the above video guy outlined, but because of the way the poles are wired, I believe a basic test can be deceiving? Is there a easy way to definitively test the motors? I have RC car sensored and sensorless brushless...

    How do I select a correct replacement motor controller?

    They are Lithium Ion, so probably around 3.7-3.8Vdc for storage voltage per cell, but I am not even sure what the S or P count of that pack is...it doesn't exactly have a label either... chinese hardware documentation, the bane of DIY repair. While you are 100% correct, I dont have a easy way...
