freewheel/regen mode switch

[myelectricbike]

Have you ever visited the Endless-sphere Forum? I was shocked at the depth of dedication to repair and reverse engineering all of its members seem to have. If you are deeply into electronics then that is the place to give and to get help, especially for circuits to solve problems that most people are content to just live with.

I am a member of the endless sphere forum as well, there is tons of info there but none that I have found on golden motors. Is there any detailed info on how the regen works, I thought I saw a review on it now I cannot find it.

The problem is the startup delay,
you hop on and pedal, then hit the power switch,
and regardless of throttle position the regen brakes
hit full blast until the controller initializes.

It takes a few seconds, but that means a screeching halt
while you wait for the 'click' after pressing the red button.

Ok, I'm no electronics expert, but could you have
three relays cut out the field coil (power) connections
between the controller and the motor?

When I don't want regen, I probably don't want power either.

The sensors will probably freak and send 'more current'
request to the controller, but with an open circuit you get
zero amps out.

Ebike in a state of flux. Now=.5kW kit with 3xSLA on the cheapest bike I could get.
The next order is a kW front wheel on a $60US Diamond Back Cruiser
with an under-published 48V20AH LiFePO4 pack.
