NSW (Australia) Government Allows [Non-Converted] E-Bikes on NSW Trains

They are 1000w direct drive motors.

I have each motor limited to 500w, but my controllers do not respect my limit. I need to install a dual motor VESC, then I can more reliably adjust the battery current to save my battery. I don’t trust the squarewave BrainPower controllers.

With each motor limited to 10A, the controllers pulled over 30A and blew the fuse in my battery. When the system shouldn’t pulled over 20A battery current. This is an unpredictable situation and I don’t think it’s safe for the longevity of my battery.

It turned out to be this one. You must pedal 180 degrees with nothing and then you get hit with a whiplash surge and lurch. Then there is a four seconds of overrun when you stop pedaling. You can put it into first gear and pedal at a cadence of five and it will go 28 mph, 45 kph. The owner wanted to rent a Specialized Vado for a week when his daughter visits from Europe. This was less expensive and he can fold it to toss into his Smart car.

Be careful, Slap!
