    just put a fucking 2pole switch on it and stop over-complicating things!

      Naah - too basic

        I don't think you really can "take off" with the resistor regardless. Worst case it'll run really slowly and the resistor will burn out... Put an appropriately sized 100 ohm resistor there, you can't even get one twentieth of a horsepower out of the motor - that's not going anywhere fast.

        Could stick a 120V incandescent bulb there instead of a resistor...still not going anywhere fast, and really cheap.

          This is actually a good idea and I thought of it myself a while ago, though the resistance would be all over the place. It's bulkier too, so space is a bit of an issue. Not sure what the "idle" power consumption would be (with the FET off), because the bulb would be in series with the controller box all the time, so long as the battery's connected, but the resistance is probably high enough the power consumption would also be negligible, even with a stone-cold filament.

            bulk? use a linear halogen tube - they are like a short pencil.

              Yeah but I would use a 250 watt version not the 500 watt version

              These two repairs where found with a ESR meter...> Temp at 50*F then at 90*F the ESR reading more than 10%

                Might work. Would still need a holder for it....or I could go ghetto and solder to it directly I already grabbed a 50w resistor from Ali for like 2 bucks which has lugs on the end already. Like I said: no rush, since it's going to be another 4-5 months until I can go for a ride on this thing

                Because 250w = higher resistance ?

                  Yes and less current than 500 watt would be
                  If you have an old light fixture that uses this type of bulb then you just need to figure out how to use the holders together so it will work maybe make it on a 3 D printer

                    PLA and incandescent bulbs of any type do NOT mix.

                    And no, don't use those high wattage halogens, you want low wattage bulbs for their resistance, like a 4W night light bulb... or less. Enough to charge the capacitors, not enough to run the bike in any capacity. Unless the intent is to give a thief a false sense of hope?
