We see peaks of 500 amps at the motor.. however the battery side only pulling in the 200amp range......

i've tried 75v battery & 100v battery... but it feels like theres no power difference..

we are running 1 - 2 or 1-4 gear ratio, sorry i dont recall of hand...

all software current settings for motor, battery, and current pot in the controller are at there max settings...

am i missing anything else... or is this all the power i will see?

thanks

Check out your duty cycle. If you are seeing 500A at the motor and the same time 200A on the battery you are only at 40% or about 204 on the pwm in the controller.
