    Have you ever hear of "the capacitor ". Super soco owner too. Think you guys could totally check out each others projects. I bought a fancy cable from him to switch regen on, on my bike. I'm mid mod on a TC Max. All superficial stuff to look bling😂. Looking at power stations and solar though to free charge. ✌🏽❤️

    Great video mate, really well shot and presented.
    Would suggest to anyone thinking of doing something similar that you avoid the DALY BMS, which are basically junk. They have great problems detecting the state of charge and the balance current is pathetic, when the BMS decides to balance at all. Most people who start out with one end up replacing it with a JK BMS or an Overkill. They can "flutter" also, rapidly cutting in and out which may have killed your sabvoton.
    Might want to consider that you are probably going well over the discharge C rating for those cells, which will drastically shorten their life. Any idea what temps they reach?
    A lovely build though, and hopefully you havent experienced any of the issues I mentioned. Subbed and look forward to watching your other projects progress.

      Well right now I've got it dialed to max out at 9kw and after riding at relatively high speeds 80ish kph for 20 or so minutes I got a temperature reading of 35 degrees C in terms of c rate when I bought the cells they had a stated max discharge rate of 3c not sure if that's 3x the rated capacity or 3x the the yield which is should be around 80% of that either way I'm getting somewhere in the area of 3.6kwh of usable capacity which should mean a theoretical max of around 10.8kw I'm not expecting these cells to last as long as they would in a solar or backup power application but I'd be happy with somewhere near 1500 cycles ...it will take a while before I can find out if that's realistic but I'll definitely post an update in couple of years if the bike still runs 🤣

      Only 3.6kWh? The Lithium phosphate (or what type did you take?) took its toll then with its worse energy density. The TC Max has 3.2kWh with its normal 45Ah battery. So not much less and it’s still too small for longer rides (60-80km range)

    Have you thought about clamping for those cells to prevent swelling under load. The previous bike would have needed this less but has it in the form of the ALU housing whereas yours will hammer those cells harder. It seems like your initial idea would have been better had it fit.

    Great video, i was considering doing the same to my super soco TS1200R, i bought sa super soco 60v45ah battery from a super soco scooter, a fardriver 360 amp controller and screen. I was deliberating on a wheel hub motor. May i ask what kind of speed you managed based on your 90 amps setting thro the motor, id be hoping for around 65 mph. Thank you.

  • @anthonyevans7911
    @anthonyevans7911 ปีที่แล้ว

    Has anuone any idra of what the original bosch 1200w motor is capable off running at a much higher current. I believe the TS1200R bms limited the amps to 30A, and the motor i think is max 3KW. With my replacement 45AH battery, that could run at 2C continuous, so thats 90 amps, but if the motor is at capacity 3kw, then all i`ll need is 50 amps, I wonder what speed would be achieved at that rate? Any ideas?

      ​@@Brokenrobotproductions That's precisely what I need! I bought a 2018 Super Soco TC from a friend and knew he had issues with its battery. I think it got wet on its inside or something like that. So I got it cheap. However, it takes over 10 sec from 0-50km/h, the range is about 30km, and even when I'm close to 70km/h, the speed drops very fast uphill. There are some hills that get as low as 30km/h. Then I have a queue of cars behind me. I'd be more than happy if it could accelerate faster, and keep the speed steady at 50km/h uphill. I don't need it to go more than 70km/h, besides that'd be cool. Do you think the only way to achieve that is by upgrading the whole system as you did, or would that be possible by upgrading only the battery and controller? I weight about 90kg (~200lb).

    Sir… why not embed a stator connected in the motor… so it can self recharge it while running… just like a scooter???

    • @Brokenrobotproductions
      @Brokenrobotproductions  ปีที่แล้ว

      Well the motor is in effect already a generator once the Regen kicks in the magnetic field inverts and current flows back from the motor into the controller to charge the battery if you were to add a stator to the motor any current you generated from the stator would just add load to the motor drawing more power at a greater rate than you could generate from the stator
