Hi Dan, Lee, David and All, I took all the ideas and
made a sepex controller which was kind of jerky but that is likely because it
isn't loaded and should work once linkage is worked out. I'll likely use it on
a moped cabin trike since I have the title, VIN, etc. While
looking at the Sepex and my other series motor transaxle I wondered whether the
armature was the same? So I popped it apart and then it slide right in the
series field, transaxle!!! ;^) Of course would it run? I hooked
it up and ran excellently. So looking to put that in my next
EWoody, an aerocabin trike I just cut first wood today. I hope to have it on
the road if not finished by 2-15-18 so I can get ride of my Van.
Sadly I was also able to check the gear reduction which is 12-1 which means
45mph is all one can get from it as hitting around 7k rpm. Good
thing is the male spline shaft coming out the transaxle seems to have a good
bearing so may be able to put a sprocket on it to mount a more powerful motor
off the axle lowering unsprung weight along with correcting the reduction
gearing down to 8-1. . I was stretching 2.2hp GC motors way past, 4x
their limits though they took it in stride with few failures from 15-40 yr
old motors when I got them. And I need an EV that can go 250 miles
to Miami, etc to pickup solar panels so I need more power than one can expect
from a stock GC motor. I have my old EWoody from a CitCar motor, 50 yrs old
now chain driving a GC transaxle seems to be the present choice. I
can put it in my new one but likely sell that instead and build another one as
they get easier as I build more. Now I can put much more powerful motors in
them really opens up new apps, long distance lithium battery EVs.
Thanks, Jerry Dycus

Hey Jerry
I would give Carl over at Evdrives a call, he should be able to recommend
something cost effective. I have a couple 96 ezgos that I fixed one up for
my pig. Originally one came with an aftermarket 36/48 Alltrax controller
which was running at 36v. I replaced the dead batteries with a 48v pack,
motor had no issues running at that voltage but the used controller failed
within a couple months. I replaced it with an Alltrax series controller
and D&D motor. Shunt controllers are usually more expensive then series
controllers. The EZGO TXT I have has a Spicer diff as well, not sure of
the exact ratios, you can get high speed gear sets but they are pricey
IMO. The bolt pattern on my spicer axles is 4 x100 so larger rims from an
ATV or Civic would also give you more distance per turn. Watch how much
load you put on those sealed motors, most are Iron cased and dissipate heat
poorly. I have a thermostat and fan on mine now.
Cheers
Dan
