Delivered today I have two GM 902 mini motor kits to make a dual drive mini kit.
the front motor has a sticker saying 36v which is what I ordered. :)
the rear motor has a sticker saying 24v which is NOT what I ordered >:(
Is there a way of teasting the motor voltage?
Andrew :)
P.S the magic controllers that come with these kits have a max rating of 10 amps :-\ potentially a good thing and a bad thing

mini motors have been reported burnt out after using more than 10amps cont. the motor voltage should only affect the amount of rpm you get so if the 36v has a different rpm on the same voltage as the 24v gives then you have to get them to send the right one as you're going to use it as dual drive kit

I'm aware there will be big limitations with the nylon planetary gears in these motors so I only intend going about 6 amp cont. and 8 or 9 peak ;) but I thought all the magic controllers were the same. I also landed an external USB cable with the kits so I will have to test a controller

So what your saying is with the bike upside down and running the samer voltage to each, the 24volt should spin faster?
I have always wondered what the difference is. If they take the time to mark them they must be different.

Edited to say: I've now programmed the controllers and by default they are set to 10amp cont, and 30 amp peak. :)

Yep, i've read every thread since I bought my kit. And that's about 5 to 10 threads a day. And i've read that the Kv is different on the different voltage settings. It's wired differently, but ofcourse I could be mistaken. So if there are any other explanations on why they sell different voltages, please tell me I would like to know
Example:
24v;
Kv : 150 rpm/V
36v;
Kv : 140 or 160 rpm/V
Ofcourse these aren't the real Kv settings :P
