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.
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? .
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.
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...)
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 ?
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)
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.
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!!!!!
Tnx for the video, before I used my high brake for break lights and used my low brakes for kill switch ( anti theft) without knowing the difference of them😁

Yes you can do that only with isolated 5V signals like i said in the video, if you do that on controller with non isolated signals you will burn your controller, on this controllers if you measure signal with the positive wire for example 48V battery you will see high voltage about 43V, and if you pull your brake you will send this voltage direct to your MCU microcontroller.
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.
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.

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.
You said that we can ask what we would like to see explained. The learning board is just for the beginners. The real stuff is to learn to repair a controller. I am not referring to verify and replace faulty MOSFETs. The Internet is full of such simple repairs. I am talking about advanced diagnoses of faulty controllers. I would like to see a strategy for diagnose. Some typical testing procedures to decide what part is bad.
Hi.. nice suggestion.. the problem is that my most client controller repairs is from cheap universal ones, they have almost same issues.. mosfet, step-down issues and burned MCUs, if someone have any serious controller he can send it to me and we cam make video about this particular repair..
@@EVCustoms I wouldn't mind watching 100 videos of repairs for cheap universal controllers 😅 For instance I am struggling with one controller 350W made for Myria e-scooters. They are unbelievable complex with many SMD and several MCUs parts on both sides. It is crazy, Not to mention that I don't have the schematics. Do you have access to schematics in general?
all controllers have only one MCU, maybe you see also mosfet drivers, about schematics for sure now one has 😄, after a long time i have find only for xiaomi s1 scooter controller...
im hoping my high brake has regen or electronic brake so i can slow down faster since my rear disk brake dont work as well also cuts power as well. Currently the motor is on a scooter gas scooter acting like the original engine with no lights or electronic brake.
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.
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.

@@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..

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..
Great Video, thanks, so I take it that tere is no way to power a brake/stop light on a Low-Brake system?
you can also use the low brake for brake light, low brake use negative and high brake use positive.
Yes you can do that only with isolated 5V signals like i said in the video, if you do that on controller with non isolated signals you will burn your controller, on this controllers if you measure signal with the positive wire for example 48V battery you will see high voltage about 43V, and if you pull your brake you will send this voltage direct to your MCU microcontroller.

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.
Thank you soo much for this video i wouldn't have known the difference
Wanting to make a smaller mobility scooter for my mother. With both back wheels so you reverse polarity to get them to go the same way?
Can you post a video on how decrese current flow beacuse my new controller makes motor to run very fast at hihh torques. thid video is really helpful.
Great video as always !! Does the "High" brake have to work off battery voltage or can it use the 12v from a step down (12v > 5v) ?
Thank you mate, High brake can work straight from 12V, at 5V volts i didn't try it yet.
Cool. Thanks. 👍
I believe the throttle is simply a potentiometer. What is the resistance value that is used for those?
Hi.. no.. there is magnetic sensor an working with voltage output, so the controller read voltage from the throttle.
Excellent video my friend!! Super useful! Is there a way to replace the low or high brake level with a switch? Maybe we could save room in the bike?
