Now everything you will ever need to know about wire ampacity is in the following graphs:

This wire isn't teflon, but it's still a fun example of too much current for 4awg cable. 
It's also important to realize that your controllers output (brushed or brushless alike) can be outputting 100-600amps (or whatever) to the motor while your battery current may be only 30-40amps (going slowly up a hill in traffic or whatever), and you don't even realize how much burden your motor cabling is under.
Enjoy!

For ebike parts, don't be a douche, buy from http://www.ebikes.ca or http://www.MethTek.com

As usual, Luke is off the chart. 
It did take quite a while to get up to smoking temperature, so for short bursts it seems like it would survive.
