I'm currently injured and won't be able to cycle for a while, so I've been looking at buying a fairly powerful kit (using mainly throttle only), when I remembered that I have this old kit laying around (see attachment), and thought I'd have some christmas fun and turn it into something a bit more exciting.
It's a 250w Oxydrive CST kit that comes with a Bafang SWX02 (10) motor, and a 36v 11ah battery. The label on the controller reads 7A, 15A max.
From what I've read online, the motor is capable of handling much more power (exactly how much, I'm not sure), so I want to upgrade to a 20A max. controller to give +700w. From what I've read, the silent Kunteng (KT) sine wave controller seems the way to go.
Further on in the future I also plan on building a 48V battery pack to take it towards 1000w and increase the max speed.
However, there are a few issues that I need some help with:
- I'm not sure whether I can reuse my battery, as the controller is built into the component that the battery slides onto. Will there be compatibility issues, or can I somehow bypass the controller? If not, is there a rack without a built-in controller, that is compatible with my battery, or should I just get to building that 48V battery now and forget about the one I have? It would be nice to reuse as many parts as possible.
- Also, are there any glaring issues with what I've proposed? Is it destined to fail/blowup? Would I be better off getting a new motor as well? I have been looking at the Q128c. But again, it would be fun to reuse the parts that I already have.
Thanks for your time!
