Here's my finished winter project.
My goal was to have something comfortable, clean, elegant and FAST. Stealthy would have been nice, but unfortunately the 9c is not very quiet.
My Methods controller is software-limited at 100 Amps and I can run the motor in either 18s3p mode (75V max) or 24s2p (100V max). Because of my large wheel size (26") and too fast motor (10x6), I generally leave it in 18s3p config. With 75V I can reach 70km/h (43mph). With 100V I reach over 80kph (50mph). It pop wheelies with both voltages and climbs any hill I could find while accelerating
I spent a lot of time on the brakes. They are pretty much your only safety feature on a bike so you don't want to skip on them. This bike brakes really hard, no comparison with V brakes.
The decisions I made when building this bike were heavily based on information gathered from this site.
