How to Wire in a VEVOR 48V 2000W Motor Controller and Brushless DC Motor

In this video I go over all of the individual wires for the Vevor 48v 2000w Motor controller and Brushless DC Motor - I test all the wires going in and out, and I disconnect the plug off my new digital display and explain those wires too

Great video. I have 2 of these 48v 2000w Vevor Controller and motor sets on my Razor MX650 and MX500. They are amazing. I recommend doing the "shunt mod" it made a huge difference in torque. You can find a bunch of instructions on you tube. Cheers!

[@evyatartzvi9645]

Hi, regarding the speed display what you can do is connect the wire that is responsible for the speed from the screen to one of the phases or the green or blue of the motor, and you will see that the display will change the speed, but be aware, as soon as you stop pressing the button the speed will decrease, the speed that will appear is will be measured according to the amount of current that passes through the motor but not the true speed at which the wheel is moving, for example let's say you are driving right now and then release the button, what will happen is that the speed you see on the display will not show the speed that the wheel is really traveling, it will look like 0 when the wheel still continues to turn, And unfortunately I also did not find a solution to this problem unless you connect an external sensor to the wheel and then connect it to the screen and only then can you see an accurate speed.

[@bennysgarageau]

G'day Mate! I tried this and it worked! Yellow or Green gave me speed readings thank you very much.

[@icedragonfly05]

What did it display may I ask as I'm wondering if I could connect the external speedo I have to it but gotta figure out which of the two wires I gotta connect

[@josegerardohuescamorales2808]

I connect the white wire from the speed signal to the blue wire from the motor phase, and this gives a speed reading when I twist the throttle, but it also keeps reading the speed without twisting the throttle, it also does it if I just push the scooter and the motor is turning and the scooter is on

[@pitapitabread]

Thank you man, great video covers everything in great detail, I'm going to put this motor on a Stingray bike except it will be 1800w instead because my mother doesn't want it to be powerful 😂 Keep the good vids coming!!

[@MichaelSmith-mb1ig]

“Hey ma, but it’s only 200 watts more?!” Here’s a trick…. Just upgrade the motor controller to a 3000 watt bldc (make sure it has hall sensor) These motors are rated at “1800” however you can easily push 3000 watts with a motor controller upgrade and be safe. Most motors can withstand 2x up to 4x rated power but I’d say 3000 is safe with this vevors. They are well built, not the best but by no means cheapest they are quality and can take a beating. On eBay you can find them around $50 cheaper versions but I tell you they will do the job just try and find one that has the most “mosfet” count you can within your budget and you will see those things screaming. (Currently I run the 1800w vevor I bought used and it’s running a 3500 watt brushless motor with hall and it screams past my brothers who has the full stock motor and controller 1800 watt from vevor. Cheers! 🎉

[@angelgram]

​@Michael Smith any example of a controller you can show us ?

[@ruslank.9082]

The plug behind the screen changes the indicator for batteries 36V (Off) or 42V (On).

[@AlexK1828]

for this display, the yellow wire is for speed. should be connected to the controller one of the wire in purple colour. the label usually in Chinese is 一线通 or 仪表线(速度信号) meaning Gauge wire (speed signal). the pair of black colour wire when connected together mean only use 60V battery. if not connect, 48V~72V battery also can use. At some controller also have pair of black wire can connected to each other. That is so call 自学习线meaning self-learning wire, usually for after complete assembled the whole system and testing. After done, you can disconnect it.

[@AlexK1828]

Regarding the self-learning wire: after the assembly is completed, connect the self-learning wire first, then turn the accelerator handle to let the motor rotate and keep it, pay attention to the direction of rotation, if the direction of rotation is reverse, disconnect the pair self-learning wires while still rotating, At this time, the motor will stop automatically, and then reconnect again. At this time, the motor should rotate forward as correct direction, and then disconnect the self-learning wires. At this point the procedure is completed. If when beignning of test the motor already turns forward as correct direction, just disconnect the self-learning wires to complete the test procedure. This is for save time no need to rewiring if the motor installed as wrong turnning direction. BTW, some controller the pair of self-learning wire is in white colour.

One more thing your motor is operating at 100%, your 3 speed switch if you short that out you will eaither get 50% power or 120% power. So if you want a speed boost short the 3 speed to 120% for an extra boost 🤔😉

[@mhmdsaleh3502]

The two black wires on the screen are for measuring 48v battery or 60v when you connect them or disconnect , to know the charging value . I have a question please : This motor is without gear inside .. so it is a low torque , high speed motor . So do you think it will work on scooter or small car with small tire diameter , even you put 40t chain wheel on the wheel ? Will it drive on steeps ??? If yes , does it work on ebike 20inch or just with small wheels ?! Thanks

[@Miracle485]

u can use magnetic speed control ,for the speedo

[@123Crazymanny]

I just bought one of these VEVOR motors and this video was really helpful. What battery would you recommend I get for this motor? I thought that the battery would need to have an output of 2000W, which means at least 40ah on 48V, but in the video you used a 15ah battery. Whats the cheapest battery size or type I can get for this motor? Thanks so much

[@bennysgarageau]

Short answer for battery output, 1000w works fine, I believe the controller works like an inverter, 54 volts were going into it, and I was getting 48 at the isolator, this means it is controlling output, my battery was rated to 1000w but operated perfectly during a test run, ill do a full video on the battery i have soon. Thanks for the support! I will also be giving a battery away at 100 subs

[@123Crazymanny]

@@bennysgarageau Thanks for the help!

[@invaderjohn]

The speedometer needs to connect the yellow cable to the blue cable the bigger one that comes from the motor and it works like a charm. Also The contact with a red and black cable should be the external charging port. :)

Thank you for the sharing the video. Do you have any steps on troubleshooting the controller if the motor does not run? Everything was working fine before motor stopped running. I have the display connected to the ignition switch which turns on when I turn on the ignition key. When I press the throttle pedal, motor does not run. I am suspecting controller may have died.

[@chriskassarjian8248]

Hi thanks for the video. I'm working on a scooter I have 48v brushless control board, 36v rear hub wheel. If I hook a 36v lithium ion battery will the scooter work? From what I understand you said the red and black skinny wire will adjust voltage vs the red and orange

[@bennysgarageau]

Perhaps, not 100 percent sure, because you are going down in voltage, the supply will be fine, it only depends on if the board has a low voltage trigger, this may be present to protect battery, because the board is designed for 48v, the input would be a desired 48v. I would test it and see. Worst case you have to buy a new 36v controller

[@bennysgarageau]

And just to be clear too, the red and orange wires are 48v out - the black and red reflect whatever is in the battery

Hello, I don´t know if you solved your problem, but to solve it is simple but may take some time. You need to change the phase wires (green, blue and yellow, the big ones) until the motor works great, if it doesn´t after you changed them, then you need to change the hall sensor (green, blue, yellow wires), If I am not mistaking it has 36 possibilites and only 3 work corretly, so good luck xd. If you have with cables (probably you do on your controller) and it is wrote "self learning" then you don´t need to do anything above, just search how to use "self learning bldc motor" on youtube so you don´t damage anything.
