Re: 350W controller for 250W motor? That will work fine. The more fets, the more the total load is spread out.
Can I use a 350W controller on a 500W motor?
Running a 500W motor with a 350W controller will not damage anything. The controller is what limits the current flowing to the motor, so the motor can't "pull" more than the controller will allow.
What is the difference between a 250w and 350W motor?
By using a 250w motor it means that you have a legal bike that can be easily derestricted when needed. Remember the 250w Bosch motors give exactly the same assistance and torque levels as the 350w motors. In fact, a 250w motor with a dongle installed will travel at faster-assisted speeds than a 350w motor on its own.
How many amps does a 250w motor use?
The physics behind eBike range
A 250W motor at 36V draws about 7A of current. That means that in one hour it will use 7 amp-hours (Ah) of charge.
Can I use a 500W battery on a 250w eBike?
If your riding does put say, the full 500w of load on the motor, then the motor will use that much power if the controller and battery can provide it. If the motor is a little 250w geared hubmotor, it may or may not be able to shed all the extra waste heat from the higher power level.
38 related questions foundIs 350w enough for an ebike?
If you're of average weight, about 150 lbs, a 350 watt motor will have enough power for flat roads with a few moderate hills tossed in. You may have to pedal with the motor to get up some hills, but the beauty of an electric bike is that they assist you in such tasks.
Is 250W motor enough for electric bike?
If you're a heavier rider, you can still ride a 250 W e-bike as long as you are on flat terrain. The acceleration will be quite sluggish, but the bike will move you. Keep in mind that 250 W continuous is more power than most people create when pedaling.
How fast is a 250W ebike?
How Fast Can A 250W Electric Bike Go? It is approx 20 mph, a 250-watt electric bike can goes 20 mph (32.19 km/h) on flat ground.
Can I run a 24V motor on 36V?
You have to give us some more info.. but the general answer to your question is NO, you cannot throw 36V to a 24V motor.
Is 250W enough for electric bike UK?
But here's a short answer that I'm sure will ruffle some feathers: Yes, we've found that 250W is often plenty powerful for many e-bikes. There's some caveats to that statement, but by and large a 250W motor is enough to give a rider's pedaling a nice assist.
How fast is a 350 watt ebike?
A regular bicyclist can reach 7.5-9.3 mph from pedaling using their weight through a pedal bicycle. The 350-watt electric bicycles will go on an average speed of 18 mph. These models of electric bicycles are regarded as class 3, indicating they could accomplish the highest speed of 25-28 mph.
Can I use a 1500w controller on a 500W motor?
The volts are the same. Yes you can, and most probably will burn the motor out by doing so.
Can I use a 1000W controller with a 500W motor?
A 1000W rated motor can run 1000W under normal conditions 24/7. A 500W motor is only rated for 500W 24/7. That said, I've run over 3000W through a 500W dd motor for short periods of time without a problem. It will just burn up faster than a 1000W motor.
Can I use a 36V controller with a 24V motor?
Re: Running 24v & 36v on the same controller
You can use a controller rated for 36V on a 24V system, but you need to make sure it doesn't have an LVC or that it is already set low enough for your 24V pack (or you have to alter or defeat it, and then use something else to monitor your pack for LVC).
What is the difference between 24V and 36V motor?
You get torque in proportion to voltage, so a 36v motor will have 50% more torque. If you run a 24v motor at 36v, it will run 50% faster too, but this has a bearing on efficiency and efficiency also has a bearing on torque. Say you had a 20 mph 24v motor with a 15 amp controller, which slowed down to 10 mph up a hill.
Can you run a 24V trolling motor on 36V?
According to Minn Kota you can run a 36 volt motor on 24 volts: BUT, it will run hotter, draw more amps, deplete the batteries sooner, and run the risk of damaging the batteries from over heating. The iPilot function and steering motor may not work. All in all, probably not a good idea.
How can I make my 250w ebike faster?
There are a few easy things you can do to make your ebike faster that don't involve modifying it or it's settings.
- 1 – Always ride with a charged battery. ...
- 2 – Change the tires. ...
- 3 – Add more air to the tires. ...
- 4 – Remove any speed limiter. ...
- 5 – Make the speed sensor think you are going slower for mid-drives.
Is 250w fast?
A 250-watt motor, if you're doing full throttle, is going to be able to get you to a top speed of, let's say, 15 miles an hour. If you're looking at a 500-watt motor, that's gonna be able to get you to a top speed of about 20 miles an hour.
How fast can a 24v 250w electric bike go?
A 250w electric bike goes approximately 20 mph (32.19 km/h) on flat ground.
Is 250w motor enough?
A 250w motor is sufficient for general commutes, while upgrading to a 350W or 500W is beneficial for those who will be doing a lot of uphill rides. To put it in perspective, 6000W motors are appropriate for motorbike racing, and are not designed to be contained to city roads.
What battery do I need for a 48V 250w motor?
A 52v battery powering through a 48v controller to run a 250w motor will probably do fine if the motor is producing 250w or less. Like stated above, the motor probably has plastic gears that are made for a load of 250 watts or less.
Can I use a 48V battery with a 36V motor?
Re: Using a 48V battery pack with 36V motor/controller
Most 36V controllers will support a 48V pack, but the LVC will still be set for a 36V pack, so you'll need to monitor pack voltage and not let it get too low. You can verify this by opening the controller and checking the caps and fets.
What does 350W mean?
Basically you have Watts, Volts, Amps, Amp Hours and Watt Hours. When speaking of a motor they are rated at Watts which is how much power the motor can consume so for a 350Watt motor to consume 350 Watts it would draw approximately 10 amps from a 36v battery.
