WE BL-36 --- 400W or 600W

Hi,
I'm looking at a used, local BL-36. He's ridden it 2 years with no incident. He thinks it's a 600W, but not sure. Is there a way to tell if this is a 400W or 600W BL-36? Any markings on the hub or controller?

Thanks!

There isn't really a particular hub for a particular wattage. The hub is essentially the same for all of like type though the oldest ones were made by another factory I heard. The current motor says AO-TE-MA on it and can go a thousand watts easy. I can't see why older ones couldn't handle a wide range of voltages or amps. I really can't remember the amperage of the older BL controllers, but I belive the newest kits have more amps now. I believe the 400 watt kits were 24 volt, so seeing what voltage the throttle lights respond to, if any, could tell you. If it has three batteries it could be still the 24v controller since it worked fine with 36v. In any case, an ebay controller can be gotten hold of and used at whatever voltage you like.

Be the pack leader.
