I tried 67.2V - the speed is amazing! But I stopped after 5 minutes. To many doubts at the moment ..please help :-(

i thought the magic controller was max 60v but you can overclock it to 80v, but it will get you nowhere and you'll probably end up in a wheelchair :-\

This is what is sometimes referred to as the magic controller:

Quote from: GM Website
Magic! ... It can drive your ebike even with failed motor hall sensors, throttle, breaker, or all of them failed together!
It acts as sensorless controller when your motor hall effect sensors fail!


Which controller do you have?

oh my god - that is exactly the controller I have. Sorry I did not know that is called "magic controller" ;-)

I have the 48V Set. So can I use it also with a Lipo-batterie about 63V (when its full charged)

Do you have any form of LVC on the battery?

The LVC on the controller is pre-set for a 48V battery and may not prevent your LiPo battery from being overdischarged.
Overdischarging a LiPo battery will decrease its lifespan and can cause permanent damage to the cells.

The recommended LVC for most LiPo packs is around 3.0V per cell.

Quote from: Wattflyer.com
When LiPolys first came out, the recommended LVC was 2.5V per cell. Once they figured out that the batteries didn't last long and often got so out of balance that they would catch fire while charging, the LVC recommendation was upped to 2.8V per cell. That wasn't enough either, so they upped it to 3.0V.

I presume this controller uses 63V capacitors, if so they will be overloaded at higher voltages.

Quote
The 63 Volts on the capacitor is the "Working Voltage (WVDC)". This is a rating as to how much voltage may be applied to the capacitor without damaging it.
(There is a small safety factor built in for a little bit more voltage)

A capacitor consists of two flat plates seperated by an insulator. A wire is connected to each plate. The WVDC is the rating on the insulator as to how effective it is. In this case it can insulate up to a 63 volt difference before it breaks down and allows conduction across it. 

If you exceed the stated working voltage, you risk damaging the capacitors!
