First of all,
a 250w motor should be able to handle double that rating with no big problems
. Pretty small motor wires can still carry 500w IMO.
What is the difference between 250w and 500w?
But without getting too much into the specifics, if you have a 500-watt motor, taking hills, going up hills, is gonna be a little bit easier than on a 250 because it's gonna have more power. When it boils down to it, specifically the biggest difference is
more power
, which translates to top speed.
Can I use a 500w controller on a 350W motor?
Running a 500W motor with a 350W controller will not damage anything
. The controller is what limits the current flowing to the motor, so the motor can't “pull” more than the controller will allow.
Is a 500w motor enough for an ebike?
It should also be noted that
500 W is usually the minimum power necessary for an e-bike to surpass 32 km/h (20 mph) of speed
.
Can I use a 350W controller on a 250W motor?
Re: 350W controller for 250W motor?
That will work fine
. The more fets, the more the total load is spread out.
Can I use a 1000W controller on a 250W motor?

all you should need to do, is use speed 2, on the three speed switch
. You can use the full power occasionally, but keep the time you use it relatively short, like less than 20 min, and avoid the temptation to use it on really long, really steep hills.
Can I use a 1000W controller with a 500W motor?
A 1000W rated motor can run 1000W under normal conditions 24/7.
A 500W motor is only rated for 500W 24/7
. That said, I've run over 3000W through a 500W dd motor for short periods of time without a problem. It will just burn up faster than a 1000W motor.
Can a higher wattage controller run a lower wattage motor?
Re: Can a low wattage controller run a bigger wattage motor
It's not going to cause any immediate failure
though, the watt limits on the motor and controller don't have to match either way, but the lower rated component will generally suffer from more heat.
What does an ebike controller do?
The electric bike controller is the piece of equipment that allows an electric bike to function. It does this by
coordinating all aspects of the electric bike, including power from a battery pack, speed control for motorized bikes, and throttle input from the rider
.
Is a 250W motor good in an electric bike?
But here's a short answer that I'm sure will ruffle some feathers: Yes, we've found that
250W is often plenty powerful for many e-bikes
. There's some caveats to that statement, but by and large a 250W motor is enough to give a rider's pedaling a nice assist.
Is 350W enough for an ebike?
If you're of average weight, about 150 lbs, a 350 watt motor will have enough power for flat roads with a few moderate hills tossed in
. You may have to pedal with the motor to get up some hills, but the beauty of an electric bike is that they assist you in such tasks.
How fast is a 250 watt ebike?
How Fast Can A 250W Electric Bike Go? It is approx
20 mph
, a 250-watt electric bike can goes 20 mph (32.19 km/h) on flat ground.
Is 500 watts a lot of power?
A 500 Watt Power Supply can DELIVER 500 Watts, but it will ever use only as much as the components in your PC need
(and of course that depends on Load and Activity, if Energy Savings Mechanisms like AMD's Cool'n'Quiet or Intel's SpeedStep is enabled etc.). In Theory, with a 100% efficiency rating, which is impossible.
How fast is 250 watts in mph?
A 250w electric bike goes approximately
20 mph
(32.19 km/h) on flat ground.
How fast is 250w in mph?
It takes about 250w of output power to reach
15 mph
for an average person on an average bike riding along a flat road with no wind.
Can a 250w motor run on 48v?
A 52v battery powering through a 48v controller to run a 250w motor will probably do fine if the motor is producing 250w or less
. Like stated above, the motor probably has plastic gears that are made for a load of 250 watts or less.
How many amps does a 250 watt motor draw?
A 250W motor at 36V draws about
7A
of current. That means that in one hour it will use 7 amp-hours (Ah) of charge. So a 7Ah battery will last one hour.
