Thanks for the further review of this motor. "Only 1200 watts". 😂. Only like double any street legal limit;) The temp did get pretty high but you were climbing a hill at a fairly high speed. I have to wonder if dropping a gear (& consequently the speed) would keep temps lower. I hope that throttle amp up can be modified because if so the Photon seems a class above the BBS02 & while not as potentially powerfull as the HD has more finesse.

It's definitely a better experience with the peddle assist. I think the bbs02 likely can sustain throttle use for longer. The motor structure is different with this one so it makes it harder to shed heat fast. I will explain in the full video.

Hi. Does throttle control speed or power? for example 50% throttle: does it accelerate with full power to 50% of max speed. or does it accelerate with 50% power to max speed?

@HighVoltageKits

Жыл бұрын

The throttle varies the amount of power when you manipulate it from off to the max that you put in the settings. There is a separate option to limit the top speed the bike can reach under motor power.

I wonder if cyc's got the temp sensor in the windings. I see the same thing with my bbshd with a ludi v2, I can get the winding temps into 90c (when I have it set to throttle power) but the motor casing will barely be warm. Even on longer rides where you would expect the casing to be heat soaked I did a top speed run and the casing was at 45c when the internal temp showed 80c+ for a good minute of "cooling down" stopped taking temps

@HighVoltageKits

I'm not sure. It would make sense. The other thing is the calibration of them. There is no real way of calibrating and confirming the accuracy. On our kits we manually confirmed the resistance values at various temperatures. Does the luna one have separate controller and motor temps.

There is not a connection for one by the motor. You can order a harness that allows for brake cutoffs. I did not bother with that tho. You might be able to add one to the brake cutoff as they are similar but it would be third party. You would need to be very careful with the pin out and check with CYC first. That would let you mount it up near the front of the bike. You really don't need one with torque though.
