PB-6

white rice · 01-07-2011, 09:39 PM

can somebody explain to me why a curtis pb-6 has a smoother acceleration than a v-glide. the guys at alltrax say that is what i need. i can feel every contact in the vglide, and when it gets caught between lugs. also, i have a 99 regen 48v, so if you have some pics of how to wire one of these things up, that would be great. thanks

The potentiometer is light years ahead of the V-glide is smooth throttle position indication. The PB-6 needs only 2 wires connected from it to the throttle input of the controller ( small terminal #2&3 on your Alltrax AXE controller) .... it doesn't get any simpler or better

Simple. A V-Glide has 5 positions, a PB6 has 100. The V-Glide will give you 20%, 40%, 60% 80% or 100% throttle. The PB6 and the MCOR range from 1-100% throttle in increments of 1

I have noticed some knockoffs for like 80 bucks. Are they as good?

Couldn't tell ya.... The only one I'm familiar with is the MCOR. Scottyb does a lot of PB-6 conversions. They're both good quality components. What knockoffs are you talking about? Pics?

The knock offs are crap

They come way out of tune from the factory. And when tuned can't hold an adjustment so no, spend the money on a Curtis or CC MCOR
