According to the information I have, the Error 7 on the BAC-601 display indicates an "over current" fault, but I have no idea as to why this is happening.
Perhaps something is interfering with the MOSFET triggering and causing both the Hi and Low MOSF ..read more

The eLock wire on the VEC controller is typically supplied with full battery voltage to activate the controller - NOT 12V.
The voltage on the throttle +5V wire is typically around 4.5~5V but I'm not sure what voltage is on the reverse wire before it is ..read more

Thank you Alan,
I'll give up on the LED for now and go back to just a simple arrangement of: switch for on/off for the controller, a separate switch for the reverse and the potentiometer for throttle control.
Just confirming that the Elock is at 12 V ..read more

This issue is likely a result of my unique arrangement with my ebike build, and not likely an issue with GM motors itself - just wanted to clarify that here.
So, let me start by sharing an image of my ebike setup:
So my hub (GM Edge) shares a throttle ..read more

Hi All,
In the software for setting " Max Current" you have continuous Amps and peak amps. I was wondering if the controller will shut off when reaching these settings or does the controller limit the current to these settings.
Kind regards Leon ..read more

Hi Leon,
The Magic Pie Edge is also a high torque 500W motor (although it's direct drive instead of geared) and the default rated phase current is 56A with a default battery drawn current of 21A.
For a motor running at 80% efficiency, an output ..read more

Hi Allan,
I use high torque geared motor ( 48v /100n/m) 500W What would be the setting of peak current in the software? I want to limit at 800W power, but must I devide current by 3?

Hi Leon,
The controller simply limits the Phase current output to ensure that it doesn't exceed the programmed settings.
However, if the controller becomes too hot under sustained high current output (and high current regen with a non geared motor ..read more

I took the end plate off, and noticed that the bearing has a bit of fust on the outside.
possibly or probably not an issue but the bearing doesn't look as pristine as is should being sealed in a motor.
There is a side load adjuster an ..read more

It may be under propped for getting maximum output, although max motor speed of 4500 is close to the original engine speed of 5000.
In any case I use it for slow cruises, and I have fooled around with a different prop to see what happens. Nothing on t ..read more
