Hi there,
I have been tinkering around with a few different scratch built e-vehicles (bicycles, scooters etc).
Until now they have only been prototypes and have been more than happy to use the somewhat questionable over-rated Chinese controllers and motors.
I am now looking to build my final revision for road use!
So I want to use a more reliable and application specific controllers, that would also have post sale support/warranty etc.
Ideally with a UK/EU sales outlet.
Which is where i am struggling!
All i can find on the old Google box is more of the cheaper multi use 'Clone' type controllers and 90% still seems to be coming direct from China (not looking forward to the Import charges on the Hub motors and 1000W size controllers)
The ones i have come across locally (so to speak) also seem to be the same Clone controllers being re-sold with a huge markup and still being shipped direct from China.
Would someone be kind enough to recommend any sites, where i should be looking?
Maybe point me to a relevant thread?
Or perhaps recommend a good quality kit (With after sales) to look out for that could meet my requirements:
Hub to fit a 20" wheel,
No PAS,
Possibly capable of running twin/dual hub motors.
I'm already aware of the laws and know this will need to be fully registered.
I have scratch built Motorcycle frames and complete bikes in the past and already have knowledge of the hoops that need to be jumped through having frames certified and registering non-factory made vehicles.
