Just doing some testing of my latest setup. This is just my 9C 2806, the Croatian Hub Monster should be ready for install some time next week :)

Got a few controller mods to try out too in a little bit, just waiting on parts.
 
Sick! Bikes looking good.
 
Very Nice! Been reading some of your other post on your build, Inspiring me to look into the 20" hubmotor solution.
 
That's pretty insane.

Wow, that's plenty fast. Tires? I've destroyed tires pretty quick at that speed. Look fine outside, inside they've melted and the cord is all flopping around in there. Hopefully the new motor will be a motorcycle rim?

I wonder who will be the first to get a bike impounded?

looks fun.. motor is getting too hot too quickly tho.. way out of the sweet zone.. the croatian should do much better.

I'm running the same motor on my BMX at the moment, 100v and 50 amps is about right, anymore and you just make excess heat.

Yes, I agree I'm out of the sweet zone, but way into the super fun zone. Just can't stay there too long. I rarely ride around in high power mode like this, but wanted to see how much abuse it could take, both motor an controller and the controller surprisingly is better than the motor. My typical riding style is between 20-35 mph and sometimes even slower than 20 on bike paths if they are crowded, no need to be a jerk.

As Spidermans dead uncle says "With great power comes great responsibility".... and the ability to pass a car that just cut you off and flip them the bird :D

I got pulled over the other day while doing about 45mph in a 30mph zone. Cop got out and did nothing but ask me questions about the bike. Left off with a "very impressive, have a nice day". I thought he was gonna hit me with multiple tickets or possibly take the bike. 8)
 
Well, it's not you then! Sometimes it's all a matter of passing the attitude test, had you been seen blowing the stop signs, riding up the street on the wrong side, etc it might have gone very different. I'm suprised he let you slide on 15 mph over though.

From what I've heard, the chota's in Phoenix AZ would have busted such a ride.
