98 48 volt motor questions
I bought a 1998 48v Power drive plus. It needed new batteries which I replaced and the motor was toast all tore up. I bought a 48 volt non speed sensor motor becasue the guy told it would work if I just swapped out the speed sensor and end cap. I now think that you can not use a series motor inplace of a regen motor? The car will go in reverse in both fwd and rev on the selector switch. I only backed it up about 10'. when I first backed it up it smelled hot like I smoked a wire or componet. I quicky un-hooked the battery cable. My question is do you think I smoked the controller? I did more trouble shooting and had it all hooked back up and it still will go in reverse only. Can I use the older motor or is this the casue of my problems and I need to find a regen motor to put in there? Please advise I am a little frustrated at this point.
Thanks Chad |

Re: 98 48 volt motor questions
There is a good change the field driver in the controller is toast. A series motor has a much lower field winding resistance and it could easily fry the controller.
The guy who told you it could work was incorrect. |

Re: 98 48 volt motor questions
Ok does anyone know if I can find a used controller? what am I looking at speending? Should I just upgrade the controller? I bought the cart and bought new batteries for it plus $100.00 for a motor that may have junked my controller. What should I do now? Replace the motor with the correct regen motor then try it out or am I looking at more problems? I just don't want to install it and have more problems that I may cause by not doing this in the correct order.
Thanks |

Remove the series motor first and get the right motor and see where you are at from there

If you are not in a hurry you could probably get the old motor redone and upgraded from plum quick.

Re: 98 48 volt motor questions
I could sell you a good used motor controller that came off my 2000 ds series cart for a $100 plus shipping that would match your series motor. But I agree with getting a plum quick bandit motor for $225 and a new controller. I will try to post pics of the controller.

Re: 98 48 volt motor questions
I am looking into a Bandit motor he is checking to see if he has a core to build for me. I currently have a GE controller on my cart are those interchangeable?
