    Need help with a voilamart controller 48v 1000w

    If you can get a full refund then do so and re evaluate how much you can afford to spend on a kit including the battery. For most kits with a less demanding controller of 15 -20a battery options open up more.

    4.5 hours max charge time from empty which would be about 42v.

    Any of these will work but no idea of cells used so not a recommend, they are all 30a continuous rating. They may incur vat and courier charges as it is in the EU so could add £30 or so to the end price. EU Battery Hailong G70 18650 Cells Pack 48V 13Ah /14.5Ah/17.5Ah | eBay

    Voilamart's are a continuing reoccurrence on here and on another thread Mike is still having issues with his set up, they are just cheap and nasty kits and buyers should do there homework first before buying.

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    No that will just give poor signal response and a harsher on /off pick up (stuttering ride) if it worked at all.

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    Ok thanks Mike, you are stuck with what you have for now. Cheap stuff is very limiting with very poor control use for the end user. One reason why we always push folks to use KT with 5 power levels, a little more pricey but ever so much more user friendly.

    In #2 & #3 both vfr and I have given sound advice to your required needs and I have extrapolated a little more in #18, continuous rating is what you need to look at and not just 1000w /48v this or that. Though 1000w/48v is important the continuous discharge current rating is the over riding...

    Need help with a voilamart controller 48v 1000w

    The battery in the first pic is the one I have mentioned in #7 and the one I have spoken about at length in #18. It will get you the 10 miles and maybe up to 15-17 miles. The voilamart message link is misleading as they/it DO NOT/DOES NOT mention anything about the battery discharge current...

    Any links for cheap but reliable 48v battery over 12ah

    Other thread, I replied to it. It's a mistake to have two threads on the same thing running so I stick to the original post as much as possible.

    Even with the 25R battery the max run time will be no more then 30 - 40 minutes before the battery will likely cut out due to low voltage. What ever you do please post a link to any battery before you buy so as not endanger your self or waste money, you have already done so with the kit.

    Need help with a voilamart controller 48v 1000w

    The controller will be a speed controller and not a current control controller, this means each pas level/power level will have a different max speed. These tpye of controllers will nearly give max current in each level until you reach the top end of the max speed and only then does the current...

    Need help with a voilamart controller 48v 1000w

    The best cheapest battery to safely suit your needs is the one I linked to in #7 above, the Samsung 25R cell is a top cell and 20a rated it will have 4 cells in parallel and are 80a capable. However the BMS current rating limits the current draw to a possible 39a continuous, ideal for your...

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    The voilamart's are speed control so range will be less as the speed controllers will give 100% current at low speed in all assist levels, it is only when you near the upper speed cut off for each level that current will reduce.

    They are typical of a lot of in house reviews, they won't publish because of the real world negative issues showing up the short comings of the bikes reliability. The only way users can really get a better non bias review is on forums like this, if peeps do their home work properly and go to a...
