Lol. Maybe 1 or 2 during the winter but no. Lots more ride vids and mod vids coming now that it's fixed. Plus got a new series in the making for the winter but u will have to wait to c what that is. Tnx bud!

[@rdcrdc7687]

Quick question on page 2 of your settings, your set up for the default gear is set as Hige, what's that for? Is it for faster take off? Because mine by default is set to "Mid"

[@GreenLeoMan]

It's cause i don't have a switch anymore. I just leave it in high.

[@GreenLeoMan]

I honestly don't remember. It's been a while since I looked.

[@DMZBinks]

Hi, have you tried using the regenerative braking option on the controller? How is it triggered because I can see you can have regenerative braking on without having the e brake turned on. So in that case when you use your actual disk brakes it will collect the power from the braking? Thanks in advance

[@GreenLeoMan]

As soon as the brake lever makes the click sound from the brake light switch, that's when the regen kicks in. The disks have nothing to do with regen. They are for braking only. The brake light switch signals the controller to engage the regen. I hope that helped.

[@derbestebusfahrer.]

I have a question . Why after I enter values in the EM-100 controller after pressing the record button, after switching off and on again the controller returns to the old settings.

[@GreenLeoMan]

That's interesting. Never heard that 1 before. Try reinstalling the software. Also check your cord for continuity. I've never had this issue, hopefully this helps otherwise I'm not quite sure about this 1.

[@jordanramage9355]

Hi, I ordered a new em100 and im having a problem when I release the throttle the motor keeps spinning at full speed and hitting the brakes isn’t stopping it, it only stops when I turn the key off. Do you possibly know what would be causing this ?

[@GreenLeoMan]

Check the throttle settings in the controller. Should be from 0-5v. Otherwise I don't know. Did u follow my steps to program it? What bike? What parameters is it currently set to? U didn't give me alot to go on there.

[@jordanramage9355]

@@GreenLeoMan it’s a tao leo with the 17 inch qs motor and most of the settings were already set to the same as yours in the video and any that were different i set them to the same as yours. And the I one that i ordered is the em 100 but the ymmotor version. I ended up getting a hold of the seller and he said He will remote into my laptop to debug it, I ordered two of these controllers and they both have the same problem.

[@GreenLeoMan]

I know nothing about the ymmotor version. Hopefully what they do for you works. Good luck and let me know how u make out. Kinda curious about that 1 myself.

[@jordanramage9355]

Max from Alibaba was able to program my tao leo and my cruiser ebikes and both are working great now! I am also able use a bigger (84v) battery that charge’s to about 98v fully charged and sits about 92v after driving, I just had to set the over voltage limit to 98v and it’s been working great no problems.

[@ianmacarthur1144]

Hi. I looked at your video a few times, and it seems pretty complicated and intimidating, but I am not at all technical. I have just ordered a Chinese scooter with a package of 72V-70AH lithium battery / 2000W QS MOTOR and a VOTOL EM100. I am now trying to find where to buy a USB connector to votol EM100. Do you have a link? Also if i only want to raise maximum speed limit to say 80 kmh, what setting do I edit (ie what page and what setting on software user interface you demonstrated in your video). Hope you can help, thanks. And trust me if i could find someone in Cuba who was an expert in this I would :)

[@GreenLeoMan]

I got the cable from aliexpress. Look for the "my tao leo parts list" video in the tao leo tech playlist. It has links to everything including the programming cable.

[@GreenLeoMan]

And the em-100 should be with a 3000w qs motor. Ur gonna have to find the amp rating on that motor and set the software accordingly or u could easily smoke ur motor. And as far as limiting. Just leave ur "hdc enabled" in the software and u'll be fine. Just dont over amp ur motor. Good luck!

[@ianmacarthur1144]

@@GreenLeoMan excellent and many thanks, much appreciated!! I am going to start immersing myself in this technology rabbit hole :) maybe need to go tech. college beforehand or find a mentor in cuba:) keep up the great work!!!

[@christianpaulroldan4010]

If the park is engage what is showed to the display is it hall failure?

[@GreenLeoMan]

No. If park is angaged, the "P" on the display tab will be selected. If turning off ur bike and turning it back on doesn't get rid of the "hall failure", u might have an issue with your motor wires going to the controller. If u continue to have this issue, check your motor wires to make sure none have shorted out. The 3 big wires coming from the motor, the plastic covering the wires breaks down over time and could cause a short. I had to strip the black casing off the wires and could immediately see cracks in the plastics everywhere. I just wrapped all 3 wires with electrical tape and the issue went away. It's in 1 of my videos, i just don't remember which 1 anymore lol. Good luck and tnx for watching!

@@GreenLeoMan I got stuck on pole pairs for my motor at first, because I got a generic 1500w hub motor for my Kona MTB and I put 46 in pole pairs(46 magnets my motor has) and took 2 days of trouble shooting till I realized a pair is 2 🤣 put in 23 in pole pairs and the controller works, just trying to understand the rest as they is quite alot of boxes to tick and the rest

[@GreenLeoMan]

Awesome bud. Needed the laugh. Yes, pairs come in two rofl. Glad u got it working. 🤣😊👌👍

[@marionnepatrick7383]

@@macauleyc64 you can actually lower the pole pairs so it would be more forceful/torquier. But it may depend to the generation of hub on how it is built, say a 3000w powersave hub normally, 28 pole pairs, i set it to 24 its much snappier now. My mentor said i can go as low as 20 pole pairs but is about the limit it can handle. More like a at your own risk sector.

[@GreenLeoMan]

I like to leave the pole pairs set acording to how many there actually are. I find if u set them lower, yes it's snappier but alot less smooth, u can really feel it on a crawl for a dead stop. Yes u can do this but like marionne patrick said it's at the risk of your motor if u go to low. In my opinion I'd leave it where it is.

[@Btvng]

Still getting the "communication abnormal" after switching both wires back and forth. Solders and wires are in tact. Sees coms and port locations. Also tried an older windows laptop along with changing the language and different versions of software's.

[@GreenLeoMan]

And u turned the bike on right? Sry had to ask. Also did u try cycling the key on and off between settings? Just trying to cross stuff off the list.

[@GreenLeoMan]

If it keeps failing after that...I hate to say it but u might have a faulty cable, it's a possibility. They are made in china after all.

[@Btvng]

Yup everything’s wired up with ignition and display to ensure it’s on. Would you recommend just another non cam bus cable or Bluetooth to try ? Also only other thing I noticed was on my harness for the programming port I have a pink wire which is 5v reference but yours didn’t

[@GreenLeoMan]

It doesn't need it. Try disconnecting that wire and trying again

[@GreenLeoMan]

That could very well be the issue. U might have to switch ur orange and blue again but hopefully this should work. For some reason they work without the 5v.

[@willscoot1394]

Is it the same with the VOTOL EM-30S ? I need to change the voltage.

[@GreenLeoMan]

I have no idea. Never had 1. Let me onow if it works. I can't see why it wouldn't work. Good luck!

@VishaP-uu6zc and Everyone else. This bike is definitely Not for sale. I'll probably build more in the future that i might sell, but this 1 started it all so this one stays with me. Tnx for asking though. I take it as a compliment. ✌

[@GreenLeoMan]

Sry but no. I built it for me. My purpose on here is to share my knowledge with the world. One day down the road when I'm actually making money I will be opening a custom bike shop but that's a long time away considering it's taken almost 2 years to get to 360 subs. I plan on having merch, bikes, parts and a whole bunch of other bike related stuff. But now is not the time.

[@GreenLeoMan]

And I have a 2 way alarm. Plus some extra security features. But if u'd like to try to steal it I'd be more than happy to send u to jail. Threatening to steal my bike is not a good way to get me to do anything but ban u from my channel. Keep it clean.

Just got my programming cord installed, I hooked it to the false gas tank and so I can open it with a key and access the cord! Ever play with rate of rise and decline?

[@GreenLeoMan]

Yea a little. The faster the rise the higher the amps so u don't wanna adjust it too much. As far as decline. That's for regen breaking so it don't matter. Basically, how fast would u like to slow down lol.

What do you think about the new 6000 wat motor emmo made

[@GreenLeoMan]

I think spending $2k extra just for the motor is a little much. Ur still limited by the controller. But if $ dont matter then sure. But i prefer qsmotor brand motors. Qs has a 15kw motor. What u think about that?

[@GreenLeoMan]

Sry its 10kw not 15. My bad. www.qs-motor.com/product/new-10000w-17inch-in-wheel-hub-motor-with-6-0x17-rim/

[@GreenLeoMan]

And its way under $2k for 1. m.aliexpress.com/item/32997887449.html
