On the controller that he is testing, high and low brake do not engage regenerative braking. They just cut the motor power. But on some controllers low brake engages regenerate and high brake engages battery powered braking (which uses battery power to reverse the motor). There may be tabs on the circuit board of the above controller - ABS, EBS when grounded that will engage regen or high braking- or bridging DS and X may engage regen (low)braking. It is hard to tell the difference with the motor on the bench as there is not enough momentum to see the difference between power cutoff, low braking and high braking.
@@EVCustoms Does regenerative breaking is different from electronic breaking. From my hover scooter, I can see that when I press the break lever, I can feel huge breaking force coming from motor, I believe its electronic breaking. I am very sure my mechanical breaks not playing any roll here, as I have disconnected those mechanical friction breaks completely. As per the spec given by Hover, my scooter dont have regenerative breaking. So, I am curious to know does regenerative breaking and electronic breaking are two different things, for these controllers.
Thanks from Tijuana Mexico, you're the first who explain perfectly this system. Again thank you very much. Just a question. Where is the battery charger connector? .
You should find a way to mass produce your E-bike Mother Boards for Testing connections. To be able to take the parts and test what they know about the assembly is worth paying for. The Mother Board is an easy build that will ship well and save lives at the same time. Mother Board / Test board.... Same thing. This has huge potential. Too many people are making Home Made e-bikes and they don't know what they've got until it fails, or even worse. A good Testing Mother Board would keep us all safe. The big problem would be that people buy the wheels all ready spoked to the rim. A Stand for the Motor that's Vertical would need to be included or offered as an accessory. You could take an entire wheel with tires and do diagnostics with a simple heavy duty stand. Just something to think about. Love all your videos. Thanks for all that you do. You gave us all a gift.
Does the high brake perhaps be hooked up if u use Regen, and the lo brake is used if Regen is not used? A yes or no would be a good answer for me. Or whatever relationship these two brake features have to due with Regen, if anything. Thank you, Paul.
Your video represented the motor working mechanism in a lucid manner.May i know why the brake sensor does not work properly during winter season i mean the the motor connection auto cut symbol is displayed but sometime this doesn't prevent motor to rotate ?
Excellent video and very well explained!! Question: where do you get the energy for the LED in the control panel? I'm in the phase of planning to build my first e-bike and I wanted to create some custom Panel with LED for more info on the bike (ex: blinkers, lights, Kickstand down [cutting throottle], etc...)
Great explanation!!! BIG QUESTION.... But with two brake levers, you have to connect the two red wires and the two blue wires of the levers together, obtaining a single red wire that goes to the battery positive and the two blue ones (joined together) that go to the yellow (High brake) ????? Thank!!!!!
Thanks for the very informative video. This set-up is not failsafe. I would like to see that when the circuit is broken. the brake is on. The brake switch should be normally closed.
Very useful video! thanks 👍. Is there a way to add "gradual" braking instead of an emergency "all or nothing" stop? Or as an alternative: some way to make the motor slow down with braking force as opposed to coasting. (like engine braking)
I habe a question. On my controller dont have PAS sensor connection or pedal assis just Throttle option. But on the bike have Pedal assist sensor (magnetic) 3 wire +,- and signal and on the lcd also i can setup the pedal assist power. I was thinking to connect it to Throttle wire, but i want to know if is possible or what choices i habe before i messing something up.Thanks and keep up the great content!
Hello, I bought an Esc that comes with accelerator pedal. It’s rated max 36 volts. I connected it to a 30volts lipo battery and connected two 775 motors. The accelerator works fine if I press it, but after a while it stops. The only way to make it work, is by turn off the ignition, and turning it on again while pressing the pedal just a little bit; like this works every time. I can’t figure out what the problem might be. I uploaded a video on Reddit if you want to see it.
How does this compare to Fardriver? I'm looking for a way to disable the motor when the left (rear) brake lever is engaged. My neighbor looped my bike so I want a simple way to kill the motor. I'm not doing wheelies so I want to use the swith on my rear brake lever.
I think its a smart learning wire. there is probably another one. and if you connect them you can make it turn youre wheel the other way. incase of my scooter the wheel turned backwards at first. but when i connected the two white wires for 5 secs. it teached it self to go forwards
this controller has a green wire which most picture just describe as "instrument wire".... does this get used for a speed sensor with something like a speedometer?
Hi.. this green wire is for your speed meter dashboard device, from this green wire you get signal pulses from motor phase... high speeds higher frequency output low speed lower frequency output.
The tunnel system of your wires letting out on the element of the nodes to the motor. What is the time frame the wires produce even current during use for motor field attributes
Kinda new to the ebike stuff. Is it required to connect the break system? If not connected, will the controller drain the batteries? TY in advance for your advice.
Can i hook up without the pedal assist installed? I hooked up everything except pedal assist and display comes on but no power going motor if i twist accelerator.
When i checked the voltage between Highbreak wire and 48V +ve wire it showing 51 voltage.. so can i connect it? Or is there any chance to short circuit?? Can you pleasee check and tell me?
Hey can u plz maby aswer this. I havr an ewheels E8. I cut my red backlamp of. And now it shows only ! On display and i cant gas. Everything worked befor. And nothing looks damaged. Can it be i just need to replace it for it to work?
Hello my friend how are you ? 😉. on high brake you working only with high voltage, to activate it the yellow wire must be connected to positive wire of the battery.
@@EVCustoms I saw that for the yellow one. I connect it to the stop light,,, the yellow one goes to the brake from the brake to the red one, ok, and what about the minus, should I connect it to the light?
@@Elpatronbikes448 Ah ok... from the yellow you go to brake and from brake you go to the red wire (positive), now.. your light GND black wire must go to any black GND wire or negative pole of your battery and the positive red wire of the light must be connected in parallel with your yellow controller wire.
how did you connect the wires of the hall because there the wires have 2 colors and I don't have this cube and I have to connect the wire with the wire and I don't want the engine to be damaged

@@EVCustomsso how regenerative brake wiring get connected?
By high brake or else specific for some controller?
To actvate low brake it must connected to GND, To activate high brake it must connected to high voltage of battery RED wire..
Very good explanation. Can you please make another video to show all the functions, such as three speed, cruise controll , reverse connections.
Great video, and your English is brilliant, ❤ from the United Kingdom

Thank you very much my friend!
You used a high voltage lamp in the high brake system, so how should the wiring be when using a 12v converter and a 12v lamp?
Am been waiting for this Thanks a lot !!! Most appreciated
When the low brake is activated does it stop the motor from spinning? Like I was holding a brake on a small slope, would it hold the motor in place?
Yes it does stop spinning the motor when EBS function is active..
I think this video was made just for me, thank you signé basile
Big thanks bro.this is helpful.please correct for me you said high voltage did you mean 36 and 48v???
Yes my friend..
Thanks a lot 💜

Who makes that break handle? Are all e-bike brakes a normally open switch? I want to use it for a project it I need it to be NO contact.
Yes mechanical brake handles they are NO (normally open) contacts, magnetic brake sensors are NC (normally close) contacts

Thanks great video,is it possible too hook up a wireless remote on these controllers?
Many controllers don't activate regen when the voltaic is too high. (Battery protection)
Yes this is normal, because there is no more space in the battery, i my case this controller have EBS (regen) but is not activated.
Very informative. Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you friend..
Will the high level brake work if the input on the handle brake is 12v, while the controller is powered with 72v?
Great Video, thanks, so I take it that tere is no way to power a brake/stop light on a Low-Brake system?
Nice video, you have a nice test bench there, can you make a video on how to remove the speed limit on most controllers?
Thanks
Thanks for the very informative video.
This set-up is not failsafe. I would like to see that when the circuit is broken. the brake is on. The brake switch should be normally closed.
Hello sir! can i use the two breaks together at the same time to reach more deceleration?? Tannks in advance ❤
Hi... you mean breaking with tow handle brakes at same time? yes you can do that but it will brake at same percentage..
@@EVCustoms Isn't the result the outcome of the two together?
Or you mean that the two break together give the same result as the hard brakes alone?
Yes... same result..
