Re: 2002 Standard ds 48 volt
I'm leaning towards user error.
I'd try a cheap thing such as upgrading to 4 gauge battery cables first, and if that doesn't do it, then start replacing bigger and more expensive things. Roady has all kinds of tricks, he'll help you out. |

4g Cables and a controller first. Get the highest amp controller you can afford. If you already have a high amp controller when/if you get a motor there wont be any need to upgrade the controller again. Try 4g cables first. You can also run a stock 36 volt motor and get about 20-25% increase in power. Those 36 volt motors are getting harder to find.

Re: 2002 Standard ds 48 volt
The only way to gain torque is with a controller. It will help to go with at least #2 if it a high torque setup. The stock motor is around 2800 rpm motor.with a 225 or 275 amp controller if stock. Look at a 450 amp controller at least and if the buget allows get around a 3300rpm motor. This is for torque not speed setup.

Re: 2002 Standard ds 48 volt
I've seen some with #0 wires. Those things are huge! Andy's setups would work great by the way. Probably don't NEED anything bigger then 450 and a 3300rpm motor. But just because you don't need it doesn't mean you can't get it
