Langfeite t8 with ubox vesc...help

Good day , i started a new project based on vesc board. Now i use a langfeite t8 , that Is a e-bike with two motors with 1300w each other. I buyed a ubox from spintend site and i think that this board Is a good product with 75 v and two different output for the two motors . Maybe i wrong somewhere with the configuration of motors, but there Is something that doesn t turn. As i Say the motors are inrunner type without hall sensore and from datasheet thet must give 1300w with countinuosu Power and 1800w with peak Power . I set medium inrunner type, but when i run, i see that the output Is 2400w because when the software calcs the Fox parameters, find 90A instead 40A. If i use larger Major to 6kg motors, i found 55A that maybe Is correct for the peak motor , but the performances are very lower; they are incompatibile with the performances that i had with the original analogic board.

Then i try another test, i increase the current from 90 to 130A. The performance in this case are very similar to the original board, but the ubox cuts the Power After some meters, because the voltage buttery goes down 55v during acceleration…
In my opinion i wrong the motor setting…any ideas? Thanks

Tell us a lot of details about what battery and charger you’re using.

My hunch is you are overloading the battery which can drastically reduce its lifetime and create safety hazards as well.

I tested It twice…not more…in any case i have a lipo 16s 10p , 26000 mah. The charger Is 67.2v , 3 amps.

But my question Is…why with the original board the e-bike has a great acceleration and with the new One Is drastically Minus. Where i wrong? Sure i stress the battery, but was the Only method to return at the same conditions.

If the only thing you changed is the controller, chances are it’s the controller. Did you run detection on each motor?

Also, you can set the motor current settings quite high, above recommended, as long as you keep your finger out of it.

Can you read the settings from the old motor controller?

Yes, i do the auto detect foc for each motors…i can t read the parameters, because the old board Is a chinese analogic board. My problem is that i set the current quote High, the battery goes in trouble … The old board has 35 amps as maximum current…so as Is possibile ?

I would set the “motor amps” maximum to whatever the detection says, maybe plus 10% from that.

The “battery max” current try setting that at 20A and testing it out. If it works well, keep increasing that until it doesn’t work well, then lower it a bit.

What is the volt drop when you apply large load

(Cheep chines boards proberbly don’t have the soft cut off)

Yes, i think that the cinese board hasn t soft cut off…indeed i change It because often It has cit during acceleration, in this case there was strange sounds…and so i would try to eliminate this behaviour.
In your opinion , the auto detect fog Is able to Discover the correct parameters? For example Polar couples? Or i must open the motor to count It?

Is difficult to see the volt drop…i do a video for this, now i try to upload it.

Can we see your vesc settings and what is the battery

Sure, what type of setting want you see?

Almost a 10% voltdrop. What’s the battery soft cut off set to?

Settings were to see if anything that could have been overlooked

110A and you think it’s sluggish compared to 35A
Other one did you change the ramp time?

These are the settings…

And this was the old board…

16s at 1800W is only just over 25A.

Ramp time on the controller settings (I fined the default way to high makes things feel sluggish)

54.4 soft cut off personally I’d fined a little high. Once you depleted battery by 0.4 per a cell. High loads will trigger you soft cut off.

So, what do you suggest?

I think you max wattage is you biggest bottle neck but we need more details of the build. To give you a idea on a dule e sk8 6355 I’m useing 45A (90A at 50V 4500W) my motors are rated to 55A eatch

The 3 I suggested above are the main settings I’d play with. personally I limit the motors by amps not watts this all depends on feel and maximum settings of the motor

So i could limit Only the current, and i could set the watt to 5000w…i think that the motor couldn t arrive to this limit. The motor spec says 1300w continuos and 1800w peak.
I could Say that with 120amps the e-bike works well, but i had set 80amps as cut off battery.
