If the momentary battery voltage is less than the programmed Maximum Motor Voltage
value (for example when the battery is almost empty), then the battery voltage itself is the
maximum applied voltage at 100% speed demand.
The actual voltage output from the RHINO2 may at times be higher than this setting due to
Load Compensation (see 6.5.5.5 Load Compensation).
Setting the value for Maximum Motor Voltage
Find a flat and smooth driving surface, long enough to achieve driving at
maximum speed.
Set Maximum Motor Voltage to 1 V above the battery voltage. Drive at
maximum speed and record the maximum speed. Now reduce Maximum Motor
Voltage in small steps until the maximum speed is just not achieved anymore.
Take the value of Maximum Motor Voltage, plus a small margin for tolerance
(e.g. 0.2 V), as the value for Maximum Motor Voltage.

This parameter determines how much the Maximum Motor Voltage is scaled down when the
scooter is at maximum throttle demand, and when the scooter’s speed rises above the
maximum speed when driving down a slope. Reducing the Maximum Motor Voltage will
reduce the maximum speed and hence slow the scooter to a safer, more comfortable speed
when driving down the slope.
As a guide, the table below shows by how much the scalar reduces the Maximum Motor
Voltage:
Max Motor V Scalar Maximum Motor Voltage Reduction
60% 3 V
80% 4 V
100% 5 V
