How to wire up a 36V EZ-GO motor for testing
I have a 36V motor pulled from a 1979 EZ-GO Marathon. I am a college engineering student trying to use the motor to build an electric motorcycle. I need to test the motor to ensure it still functions. The motor itself has four terminals- does anyone know specifically what each terminal corresponds to? and subsequently how I should wire it up for this application? I have browsed through the forum and have seen many people point to the following link:

Re: How to wire up a 36V EZ-GO motor for testing
assuming that is a series motor...
2 posts connect to the brushes/armature (A1, A2) 2 posts connect to the field coil (S1, S2) 8V to 12V should be sufficient for testing |

Re: How to wire up a 36V EZ-GO motor for testing
Every early motor case is stamped Look closer or scrape some dirt off of it.... It should be: ( but no guarantee and absolutely no liability assumed)
0=A1 1=S2 2=A2 3=S1 You must verify this by finding one or more markings on the motor before applying power. |

Re: How to wire up a 36V EZ-GO motor for testing
These motors are unsupported at the drive end. you will need to make a plate that can carry a bearing for this. Electrically, do everything " scottyb " says! In my IMHO, a cart motor is not what you need for your application! It is heavy and needs a ton of juice to run it! There is no room on a bike to put the batteries that are necessary!
I'd be looking at starter motors for vehicles. Although these are made for intermittent duty, I have seen them used for a lot of different applications and hold up just fine. They also take a smaller battery capacity. Good Luck on your project, it sounds Cool! :) |
