Does anyone have a solution for a controller for a 48V motor?

Does anyone have a solution for a controller for a 48V motor? I have an Etek motor and will be powering it with 48 V. I was wondering if there were suggestions for whole controllers that I could buy or parts that I could put together to create a controller? Any help would be appreciated.

Heh, 48V controllers are all over the market. I have a $50 eBay China 60V controller powering my 750W 36V motor, it works terrific. I can actually catch up to cars easily.

Lol, I test how much battery power remaining by seeing how much she spins out on cement D, really)

48V controller? What else do you want? Regenerative braking-usable controller? High amperage output controller (for huge wattage/amp motors?), controllers that can reverse?

Controller with atleast 50 Amps and one that can reverse would be what I'm aiming for to begin with.

What about something off of a golf cart?

I have a thread going in the electric project section about a controller I'm working on. Due to lack of funds, though, It's not advancing very much.

Basically all I'm doing is taking one of those cheap Chinese controllers and beefing up the power stage so it handles a higher amperage.

I'm doing it mostly for the learning experience. I'm sure you could find something already built that would do all that you want it to at a reasonable price.
