ANOTHER DRUM ROLL PLEASE
Yup, I been sober for 2 days now....shocking, where did the winter go
ok USB change test done.....not road tested yet, have to wait till morning
freewheel spin before change, 30MPH
Freewheel spin after 120% change, 35MPH, so in freewheel, works about 15% speed difference...there is for sure a phase advance of some kind here....
My understanding is that you can set 3 overall power modes, that the throttle then control, so if your kids ride the same bike as you, you can limit their power, then unleash the fury once your on the bike drunk. ( just joking, don't drink and drive, your beer will catch flies n stuff in it as you drive)...all jokes aside, 3 of my closest school friends all died in Ireland in motorbike accidents through speeding and drinking over the years, so although I jest, I do know how serious it is......the entire purpose of this experiement is to determine the viability of a single pie with serious controller, over having to shell for dual pies etc....( sorry Gary, you know I love you ) ( p.s. my infineon landed cost about 111 uk pounds with USB programmer and a couple of requested connectors for regen and cruise disable...Mr lyen is very good at modifying your controller for what you need, voltage etc, no customs charges levied.. as strangely, customs thought it was a gift, dunno how the hell that happened ......strange world eh .....
)
now ive increased the ampage to 35 amps batt, 80 amps phase....
Also, reduced cruise from 15 seconds to 5, it is a bit of a pain not having cruise button, but 15 seconds trying to hold the throttle still is just too much for 15 seconds
For anyone who has this and is annoyed by the throttle off instant braking, you can rig up a switch, with resistors in line, that feed just above 1 volt to the throttle when switch is on, the wheel will do one revolution every 30 seconds if lifted off the ground, but when driving, the controller doesnt think that the throttle has been let go, and wont regen until the brake is pressed....( please see electrobents post on how the controller regens both with throttle off and with braking)..cut switch and everything is back to normal....
batteries charging and waiting now for the same old bloody commute, for stats and road test of top speed etc....312 18650 cells charged and ready to unleash
....p.s. webby, these are your new packs.......these are different fresh batteries, so may take a charge or 2 to come up to speed
Now if only I had a 36V charger, I could serial 2 batteries and see what this pie wants to do under 72V
....hehehe
sales pitch......The Magic pie is a great contender in motor build and torque, for the speed that most of us want to travel at...if you want high speed motors above 40MPh a different motor may be a better choice, the pie is even rated as a motor on the endless sphere forums....so regardless of controller, I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it, however as always, please order from canada or a a local dealer with solid proven warranty....
...the internal controllers however might have a bit of reputation :S
right, where is the beer...
