Hello,
My motor and my batteries were not cooperating correctly, so I hooked the motor up to a variable power supply to see what exactly is happening.
Setting the power supply at 30 volts (DC) the throttle light indicates that the battery is low but when I engage the throttle, the wheel spins (drawing about 5 amps when it's accelerating the most and while it's running it draws around 1.1 amps). Once I stop engaging the throttle and then try to reengage it, however, the voltage drops down to about .8 v and the current goes all the way up to 5.15, the whole system disengages, the light turns off on the throttle and I have to turn off my power supply and turn it back on to activate the motor. Can anyone tell me what is happening?
thank you!
