So here's my issue. I'm occasionally losing power when I exceed 60 amps on my electric motorcycle. My gauges stay on but I have to turn the key off and back on to regain power. I'm not sure if this is a battery issue, a controller issue, a solenoid issue, a motor issue, wiring, or something else entirely. Maybe heat?
I've got a homemade electric motorcycle that's running a 48 volt Mars Electric/Motenergy brushless motor, a Kelly KBL brushless motor controller KBL48201, and a YX YH DC ternary lithium battery pack running at 48 volts (54.7 charged) and 35 amp-hours. The controller is rated for 200 amps for 1 minute and 100 amps continuous. The battery can output 50 amps continuous and 100 amps for short bursts. This seems to happen when going downhill or very fast on a long, straight stretch. I'll be twisting the throttle to get the amp and speed up and then I'll let off. When I go to turn the throttle again, no power.
Any thoughts? Any help with be appreciated.
