I left it as is.

I changed, the controller, the motor and the battery!

The power completely shuts down, so I don't see any error codes.

Thanks for the reply, yeah I reached out to Bolton for advice. Yeah its a Radrover 2018 bike. Would be great if it was the break sensors. I'll unplug them to try to eliminate them as the cause.

yeah I feel like its a battery issue, I'll try unplugging the new cables

I've recently run into some issues with my controller shutting off automatically. Check this thread. Looking for advice. https://electricbikereview.com/forum/threads/power-turning-off-intermittently-please-help.29620/

@thatdude902 have you had any issues with our controller/battery combo?

Hey guys, I've got a weird problem, my bike keeps turning itself off intermittently. It doesn't happen under full load and typically happens at idle or low power use, any thoughts on where to start debugging? I don't think its a loose cable as going over bumps doesn't seem to trip the cutout and...

Ok, so running the Bolton controller C5 setting at 7/10 is perfect with a 52V battery. I've put on around 200km/s at this setting. I can maintain 45km/h with pedaling on flats using 650 - 750W @ PAS 4 PAS 5 on flats bumps up wattage between 1000 - 1200 but also gets speed up to 50/55 km/h I...

Ok, so I went back to the Origin8 Supercell tires. The maxis hookworks were just too low to the ground, I was constantly scrapping peddles while turning. Turns out the Origin8 Supercell auto steering completely went away after a few 100km/s of use. They need to be at 20 PSI also, which is the...

Yeah, I'll eventually install a temp sensor inside the motor since the Bolton controller supports it. Does anyone know what safe operating temperatures are for these Bafang 750W Brushless Gear Hub Motors?

Got some spokes from rad, replaced it, back on the road now.

When I first did the motor upgrade I was trying to hit 1600 as much as possible, I wanted to go as fast as possible all the time. I was probably hitting 1600 only on the hill climbs. Now I only hits 1200 or 1400 maybe 5% of the time.

Thanks @AHicks and @thatdude902 for the info. Today I took the motor setting power down further to 7/10 and rode into work at PAS4. This keeps the motor around 700W - 800W. When I need additional power briefly for say climbing a hill or trying to make a light, I'll switch to PAS 5 or just...

I typically run at around 900W on flats, shoot upto 1200W on hills and everything else below 750W. On average though I'm trying to keep it around 800 - 900. Maybe I can install a motor temperature setting to be safe? Anyone done that before? Is it even possible?

Even with the reduction in power by changing that setting, I've noticed that the motor is very hot to the touch after a 25-kilometer ride in 30 degree celsius heat with some hills and mostly full throttle. So hot I can barely keep my hand touching the outer casing. What are safe operating temps?

Tried out setting c5 lower, great call, the bike is much smoother and less jerky. And you're right, you still get to keep the same to speed.

C5 is a 1 to 10 setting for power output? I regularly hit 1600, do you think that's too much power for this motor and could cause damage?

@thatdude902 how is your upgraded Aliexpress motor doing with that extra juice? So far for me its been great but I did break a spoke recently. Just replaced it with a new one from Rad. Possibly wear and tear, possibly the added torque. Only issue I have so far is that when I reverse the bike...

Damn, I don't like the sound of that. Did you get several made for future breaks?
