Alternatively if you pull it from the wheel to put it into a bigger 26" you'll get higher top speed too.

Yes, it works.. but no it's not right.
This thing really needs to be opened up and gutted.. The motor has plenty of potential as a 3000~5000w rig, but needs a proper external controller.
deepfraught said:joepah do you have any of the old motors/controllers that were replaced? I'm looking for one to have in hand to compare against the Australian 15mph limited version I have here, in case it's a jumper position on the board. Failing that, a working USA one in hand would mean plan B swap while I have the motor open.
I upped my front sprocket from 42 to 48, and am now pedalling 22mph cruise with motor not doing as much (speed told to me by two road bikes drafting me on two separate occassions who wanted to know more about the bike
I've loved it so much now I've commuted on it for 8 days in favour of my custom parts bin special flatbar road bike that I preferred over all others for fast convenient commuting.
Sorry, but all the replacements were made under warranty so my local distributor took the failed motors with him. With the new soft start and high t/c temps, the motor seems more reliable... Have 5000 miles on it now and it doesn't cut out on high temp any more. I would like to figure out how to remove the 20 mph limit on my bike!

The soft start controller made 48v sluggish off the line for a longer period it seemed but this is something i have to test again with the CA calibrated to report back accurately.
