I know, but it should be pushing 45amps at 60 volts through the motor.
What version of the board are you running? 75100v201 or 75100v202? What firmware?
Try running the 5.3 firmware I linked in my post above.

I’m running the new boards on 5.3 firmware. It says 75_300_R2 in the hardware version, so I’m not sure if that’s the right one.
Would it be worth opening the controller to look at the hardware version?
Not sure why your comments got flagged, but that’s the V202. That firmware wasn’t fully compatible with the ESC in my opinion.
Follow the instructions here to load the 5.3 for the 75100V202.
You can take off one of the side covers to look at the circuit board color to be sure.
I loaded your firmware and did the motor setup, but the motor is still incredibly weak. Why would it not run 3000w through the motor?
On my old Chinese controllers that came with the scooter they were able to run it at full power and could actually go up hills. I stopped using them because they would always break. I’ve been working on this scooter for 5 months total, and I just want to get it in a state that it works.
You can also try with 5.2. Someone said it had better torque, but I’m not sure. Also try turning up motor amps to 60-70
It can’t do that if the motor isn’t spinning fast enough to reach 60V.
If you’re troubleshooting, you might try running a stable firmware version instead of a beta version like 5.3
It’s rated for 45amps at 60v. I just got a multimeter out, and it’s only pushing 1v through the motor.
I try rolling back my firmware though.
It should pump 3000w in any situation.

False.
You need to spin the motor faster, and/or test it under load.
That’s what I’m saying. It is under load. And that load is my holding it back with one hand.
Until it spins faster, you won’t be getting much power output at all.
Your hand is not going to be a suitable tool for that drag simulation.
Try connecting the driven motor to another motor with all 3 phases shorted out to provide drag.
I’ve taken it on the road and it can barely move on a flat surface.
