Hi all,
We have been slowly assembling an electric go cart with some gifted parts, in particular a motor, speed controller and battery. The motor is great. It's looking like we may need to go with a new speed controller too. Here's the question. We have a burly 24 v 1875w 2.5hp motor. Does the speed controller have to match the potential power output of the motor? Easy to find a 24v speed controller, it is near impossible to find a 24v/2000 w speed controller. They mostly exist with 48v motors. In other words could we go with a 24 v 1000 w speed controller?
Thanks for the feedback!
Jeff
