Thanks for the advice, I am able to limit rpms, so I can try that to test it on the bike safely.
Honestly, I don't mind it being buggy if this is the only bug. It's my first conversion, im not expecting perfection, and I still can have auto regen.

You'd just need to set up the experiment so that it's "fail safe".
If there is a speed limit setting, you could try enabling that and settting it low so that it can't rocket off, and verify that works on the test bench.
Personally, I suspect it's a bug in the controller firmware and that it simply isn't doing braking at all, and can't, or that it doesnt' work the way it's supposed to, or even that the setup software is wrong for this specific controller's firmware version, so the settings it is sending the controller don't match what the controller's fw expects for some things, or are written to the wrong location, etc., and so behavior is incorrect. Neither one would be surprising for any of the programmable controllers I've seen threads on so far, some of them have some pretty horrifically buggy behaviors and/or incredibly poor UI / etc design, etc.

That makes me nervous to try, after seeing it go from 200rpm to 1000 rpm in half a second. I was hoping to have it sorted before I get it on the bike. Otherwise I'll probably just skip it.
