Thanks! Heat isn't really the issue I started this thread on. I was out when it started raining and the motor experienced a mechanical failure. Power was running to the motor but it wasn't engaging in any motion. The next day it was running but now there's a strange pinging sound coming from...

In English?

I'm not sure of the make but I bought the motors from Chinese suppliers. They were about £160 each. I would be happy to spend more if you get what you pay for. Why use a 52v battery? I have 48v batteries and they work well

Nice looking bike but I can get these specs at a fraction of the price.

60v controller and battery? What's a Mac hub?

Thanks but moneys not the issue here, I just need a reliable work horse

I've hooked up two 16ah batteries and the system works very well. The controller gets very hot with persistent hill climbing and will cut out at times (I'm guessing that's a built-in safety measure). What I can't understand is why the motor gets damaged when it's raining. I will try to grease...

So what controller do I need to make a 1500w motor run well?

Do you know if Voilamart is any good?

Hi all, I have had about three 1500w rear hub motors and they have all been pretty disappointing, only lasting months before they grind to a halt. My 1000w motor has taken a hammering and has lasted years. Can anyone recommend any more reliable motors? Many thanks for reading!

Use a rugged looking bike that does the job. I have my 1/3 of my duct taped to improve water tightness. Most wouldn't even know it was there or worth a second look. I guess no solution is vandal proof unless you own a tank but If you can chain it well in a built up/busy area you'll be ok...
