Special thanks to my workmates who laughed and said Why, why WHY! electric when there are combustion engines? Now they say! more voltage! lets see it hit 100km/h They have been realy supportive and got me going at all times. Thanks 090602 After adjusting the armature current to max and increased voltage to 48 I had my friend ride it again. Well now it's broken after his accidentally wheelie but atlest I manage to repair the controller. I'll think I will aim for something with better size to work with. |
