48V 1000W Motor Kit

Nice little kit. Used this kit to convert a go kart to electric, run it off of 60 volt DeWalt batteries. Works great, all options work as they should. Reverse, brake lights, 3 speed switch, variable throttle, everything was good to go. Easy to wire, some labels are a little odd in translation from Chinese but pretty easy to figure out. Variable speed peddle is nice, controller can get a bit hot after an hour of continuous use andmay need a rest to cool off. Using the 3 speed setting switch 1st did 12.1 mph topspeed with a 60 tooth axle gear, I didn't use the gears or chain that came with the kit. I had #35 chains and sprockets as spares from other karts and used those so everything matched. Second I didn't pace or radar but I'd say probably 22-24 mph and third has to be pushing 40 mph with me in the kart. I'm about 200 lbs and this kit has no issues moving me around at a good clip. Kids love it, they get about 30-40 minutes out of a Dewalt 60 volt 3 ah (marked as a 9 ah but that uses 20 volt to get that rating) Figured the DeWalt batteries would work as I have several for my power tools and be easier for the kids to charge and swap out. And if buying some they are a lot cheaper then e-bike/e-scooter batteries.

I have only received the motor/controller and am in the process of installing this system but it is being put in my own design so it will take a while for a comprehensive review. for now, I thought I would do the review on what I know. The motor and controller came in protective foam wrapping and box adequate for shipping. While there are nicks/scratches on the motor just like the product description states. these are cosmetic and are not going to affect the performance. If it bothers you the motor is nicely polished and a simple buffing can resolve it. I wish they had included mating connectors for everything. These are not STD that I can tell so for my project I will have to cut the ends and remark the cables and would surely void any warranty on the controller. Having mating connectors can prevent that. Once I have my project completed I an probably help supply a schematic that most people may be interested in using. What is odd the brake light and indicator light both show 48V output. That is a high voltage for lights, normal LED/lights for vehicles are 12V so will interesting to see if I can find lights or a way to step that down. Also, it is not clear if that changes to 60V if the SM 48V/60V wire is connected. Also, there is a reversing signal pigtail. Not clear how that is setup, but I assume a simple NO connection will do. I will edit this post as I find out more things, but for now the motor/controller was as expected. EDIT 3/6/2019 Added 2 photos and a video. I am building an Electric mower and using this motor to power. While some will say it is under powered for the job. I intend to show that most electric conversions have been grossly over powering the electric motor. You really do not need that much. First a image of the original mower, had a 18-20hp Twin Cylinder engine that I got after a son drained the oil but had no replacement oil and left with friends. Dad came home and mower yard and burnt engine up. Chassis is in perfect shape. The video shows a test spin, with no load. It was running about 1/4 throttle. As you can see the chain was loose so I did not run it fast. I am working on a chain tension system and better motor mounting. Again, this was only a test. The third picture shows where I made my mistake of only using the bottom mounts, When I put the wheels on the ground the motor and torque literally bent the motor mount. Fixable though. Some points on my setup: 1. I am currently running my mower on (2) 24V - 2ah electric drill batteries connected in series. Once I get the motor mounted and wired I will build a more appropriate battery stack. 2. REVERSE: For reverse all that is needed is to wire a flip switch into the connector. When flipped turning the throttle gives you reverse. It is that simple. That is it for now. Next steps are to look into the braking system and brake lights, ect. Since there are no opposing connectors, I have to replace and rewire all of the connections. Someone asked a question about the throttle graph not working. It DOES. But you have to provide over 42V. If not, it will only display the battery symbol and bottom bar of power. That is the indication that the battery is dead. I am also planning to provide a complete set of plans on using this motor for a conversion if anyone is interested.

Tossed this thing around and it still works amazing, decent power the speed is ok and the torque is pretty solid, easy to wire if you follow the diagram

Bought a E dirtbike off of Amazon was advertised as a 500 W dirtbike top speed of 15 mph. The bike was slower than a razor MX 350 but appeared much larger so did some research. Bought this kit along with a lithium ion battery and the difference is amazing. I will try to upload a video for a comparison just to what the bike does now compared to a stock MX 350 razor this is not about insulting razor what so ever. The MX 350 is a excellent choice of bike for the money.It’s just a general comparison so you can see what the upgraded motor and lithium battery does to a E dirt bike

I was excited when I purchased this for an electric moped conversion I am doing. It arrived but I didn't examine the parts right away since I had work. When my weekend came and I examined everything, most of the parts were in poor condition. I am a lead engineering technician in the research and development department of a semiconductor company, and i'm really comfortable with electronics, quality and troubleshooting. First thing I noticed were several deep gouges, cosmetic scratches and melted plastic on the speed controller. Everything was wrapped up really well in foam so I know it wasn't from shipping. It looked like it was beat up and used but by looking at the connectors I know it wasn't used before. Whether this is made by this seller or bought from a vendor, it shows that they do not care about quality. I'm nitpicking the minor cosmetic issues because this also correlates to workmanship standards and gives me concern on whether or not this was built correctly. I do have to say that without taking it apart I can confirm that they have a higher gauge wire for the rating of the speed controller amp wise so from the outside that does bring some comfort. The second thing I noticed, is that the motor itself didn't have the air cooling plate appropriately drilled out. I noticed metal shavings on the outside and a couple on the inside of the holes. This screams a risk of arcing. 95% of the holes weren't drilled all the way through which is a rushed job. I also noticed that one of the screws on the motor is stripped out. This lets me know that they do not care about quality, and that there is no torque specification for these components or at least not done correctly. The third thing which really annoys me is the fact that this is borderline false advertisement. They advertise as it being a 2000 watt brushless motor but upon looking in the somewhat okay instruction manual states that you need a 40 amp speed controller to be able to get that or at least close to it. They claim they kit this motor with the 33 amp speed controller to help make the motor last longer and that it is really 1600 watts but those that have tested it have verified its much less than that. Overall, the poor quality, workmanship and misleading advertisement makes me believe this is not worth the price, the risk of injury and I hope that this review saves someone both time and money from buying this poorly made kit. I would give this a 0 out of 5 rating if I could. Edit: I've gone through with a multimeter and everything appears to be safe. No unexpected grounding and the continuity of everything seems about right. I will continue testing with the multimeter and will update the review as things progress.

Makes me go 45 on my razor mx650

There are almost no instructions with this kit. The pamphlet which comes with the kit has instructions for 10 other kits so you get maybe a page devoted to the kit you bought. What else is wrong? None of the wires reach. I was rebuilding an electric kart and all the harness stuff which came with the kit was much too short. Thankfully it's not too hard to add some length to the wires and even the connectors aren't all that hard to take apart. This stuff is going on a moving vehicle so I hoped for better quality when it came to the wires and tiny switches. I substituted my own switches for almost all of them. There is no explanation of a charging circuit at all. There's a connector on the motor controller that says something about charging but your guess is as good as mine as far as what it does. I didn't want to guess at it so I built my own charging solution. There is also no explanation for reversing the motor. My kart needs the motor pointing left so it would be running backwards to the standard install. Thankfully another user (thank you ramsey) said you had to swap the green and yellow hall sensor wires and the yellow and blue phase wires and then the motor doesn't realize its running backwards. What's good? The kart flies. I got enough of what I needed to make everything work but it wasn't easy. If you're going to do this project make sure you have a very good idea of what you are doing and what you'll need before you start because waiting for stuff can really take the air out a project. Good luck if you decide to dive in! Edit: even though the bottom of the controller calls out specifically that the brake light is "low level," whatever that means, it's straight battery voltage. I bought a teeny, little golf cart transformer just so I could light a brake light when the pedal is stepped on. Just one more hassle of using this kit.

Unfortunately it looks like metal in sprockets had defect and it broke a half within first 5 minutes while bike was on the stand (not even on the road). I guess this is not something quality control can really catch. I will update review after learn how good customer service is and how fast replacement part will arrive. Update. I am changing my rating from one star to three because seller’s customer service so far is very responsive. After exchanging couple pictures they told me that replacement sprockets is on the way to me. No tracking number yet, but so far I have no reasons not to trust them. I will update my review when replacement sprockets will arrive and I will be able to test my upgraded Razor 550. Update. Kunray support is pretty good. It took probably 3 weeks, but I received two replacement sprockets and two nuts. I fixed motor and so far everything works perfectly. Updating to 5 starts since issue is not really theirs and they did their best to fix it. By the way, Razor 550 with this motor was able to do at least 40 miles per hour. It probably can go faster, but it was pretty scary at this speed on this bike. One suggestion - during upgrade you need to remove original chain tensioner because new chain is larger and at the spot which has lock it may cause ssafety issues. I didn't yet removed tensioner, but planning to do it during this weekend.
