What controller are you using? How many amps do you use at 50mph? What is your range like? I got talked out of getting a 406 700c, because it wouldn't be able to climb at all, I am wishing I had gone for the 406 now...knightmb said:

At that speed (fully charged packs @ 88 volts) it takes 2,200 watts, plus a tuck, straight open road, no headwind, very ideal conditions for that. So hitting 50 mph is one of those events that take a little while to reach (don't want to full throttle from a dead stop, don't think the front can take it), then after it finally hits that, I usually run out of road. Temperature wise, it's very warm for such a short run (maybe 100 to 105 F), but I haven't done an long "burn" on the motor (can't find a road long enough that won't go through a stoplight) to really push it. The controller usually ends up overheating before I really get a good chance though, power levels are a bit over for what it's rated max is.Doctorbass said:
25 amp burst (it's actually a 20 amp controller, but according to CA, it burst up to 25 amps), @ 88 volts (fully charged), so it *can* hit about 2kW of power, but the power controller won't handle it for long before it hits the overheat protection and shuts off. So doing a 50 mph run is usually fresh off the charger and very ideal conditions, certainly don't maintain 50 mph around I go, but still a fun rush, non the less.nomad85 said:
Yeah, luckily it's a big open road. It's terrible how the camera makes everything look "flat" because it's a very steep/long hill (nearly 1000' elevation drop I think from the top) so just coasting you can hit 55+ MPH, with the motor, it has enough power to drag it's way through the air at nearly 70 mph + gravity. Was surprisingly not as scary as I thought it would be, I guess since it's a big open road and little traffic, not worried about going head long into a car, but I guess crashing into the ditch is a scary enough thought.

at 1:02 on the first vid.. I hope you are stilll ok Hall!!! 
.. and i 've hit a tree on the ground.. but at like 40km/h.. My front wheel was complitly scraped!! spokes broke.. suspension fork bended.. I jumped avove the bike and hit the ground without any pain.. .but the front of my ebike was destroyed... now it is completly repaired with the new white fork.
let youtube having the time to convert it to allow the HQ version.. it take few hour to few days normallyHAL9000v2.0 said:
