Stuff arrived ?
No!, gutted. I've got a tracking number form Gary, China only sent it out this monday and the last EMS tracking note says China 18th April. It's looking like I won't get the kits until after Easter, and there is the grim possibility that with next weeks 3 dayworking week I may not see an arrival until I go back to work
what do you make of this statement....

”If that was 20A at the battery, then it could be much more at the motor. High voltage has the effect of raising the top speed, but it will also allow higher motor currents at low speed. Ironically, going easy on the throttle may not be enough to save you, as the worst damage could happen at partial throttle settings.
Its part of the peculiarity of the way the controller/motor combination works. 80V / 20A in could translate to 20 V / 80 A out to the motor at low speed, partial throttle. And as Richard says, its the (motor) current that sets the torque.
What we really need is a new type of controller, or a new type of limiter”.
