Hey guys, I'm building an electric scooter and have all the parts necessary to make the motor work. Everything is wired up, and the motor should be running, but it's not. Am I making any mistakes?
As a motor, I am using a VW generator. Supposedly, this motor can handle 12V in the field coils (stator) with 8 amps capacity, and 48v on the armature (rotor) with much higher amps capacity. Below is the link to the file that has a picture of the motor and the wirings (explained below).

Picture of the motor (1st slide)
Below are the components I'm using:
Battery pack - 78 x LG HG2 18650 batteries and the respective BMS with 20A continous current, for a 48v, 20A battery.
DC to DC converter - takes in the 48V directly from the Battery BMS, and converts it into 12V with 10A max current. I'm using this to power the field coils (stator) in the motor.
Motor speed controller (1000W) - connects to the Battery BMS (in parallel to the DC to DC converter) and outputs the power directly to the armature (rotor) in the motor. The power is regulated via a throttle connected to the speed controller as well.
VW Generator as motor - this motor is supposed to work as a typical shunt motor.
Below is my super basic wiring (forgive my lack of diagram knowledge). Hope it helps.
Desired diagram (full power on both parts of the motor, slide 2) - This does not work, and is where I need your precious help
Test diagram (just 12V with both parts on closed circuit, slide 3) - This does work, check the closed circuit connection (red line)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
