sepex controller possibilities

do they have regen, CAN connection?

I thought that I needed this "multimode thing that curtis has but I am not so sure. If you can set one "throttle response" curve, that may be all I need.

curtis seems the best but I cannot find anyone that sells them. This seems the only one that can be configured for different "modes" that seems vital to utilise the benefits of sepex. If I am correct, these modes should be able to be used as gears (I am not so sure now).




Alltrax



ev motorsport have two possible controllers, alltrax and sevcon. Alltrax seem to be the lower power ones.

here is the manual for the configuration - seems you cannot use different "modes" as you can in curtis versions

Sevcon



These guys seem to have the most power, but no modes. I am not sure that I need quite this much power if I am planning to use two motors.
