well today was officially the first test ride after getting a new trampa vesc in (my other one is still out for repairs if it can be fixed, will keep that vesc 6 as a spare or use it in a future build i guess) have issues with METR PRO no longer working in my build. most likely due to the latest firmware from vesc tool and the MK3 vesc assuming. so far this thing is a bloody beast. with the duel bus bars the battery doesnt even get warm its as cold as it was whe ni first started the ride. did a 43 min ride and took a break to let the motors cool down as they were feelign a bit hot did about 15.7km in total distance and used bugger all battery. will be doing a 20km round trip tomorrow.
Battery specs are 12s7p 30Q cells. expected 50km range
running 6.25 gearing ratio with Helical gears from ETOXX these are dead silent. the motors make more noise than the drive chain and most people dont hear me coming down the side walk if im doing about 17km/h
love the brakes on this thing. saved an old lady on my way back home. she was walking towards the shops then changed her mind and decided to walk back to the bench ultimatly cutting me off. skidded to a beutiful stop. if i was on my wowgo i would have plowed right throug her.
brakes are setup at -60 with smart reverse and dam is it useful especially when strapped in.
i climed a huge ass grass hill where i thought i was not going to make it at all. board plowed right up it never even hit full throttle. best thing i have built so far i would have to say.
additions to add in the future.
Battery meter voltage meter
LED Lighting
5V buck converter.
my lazy ass just needs to connect all these up and figure out where the hell they are going to fit in this build. it looks liek i got a lot of room but boy i do not. cable management is a huge mess considering the vesc enclsoure takes up almost my entire back side of the board so i got to figure out what to do here.
