Hello,

So right now I have the following setup: http://www.ebay.com/itm/48v-1000w-REAR-WHEEL-30-MPH-DIY-ELECTRIC-EBIKE-BRAND-NEW-FUN-TO-RIDE-/262574006127?hash=item3d22a15f6f:g:LIQAAOSwU-pXrP5u

I am looking to replace it with this controller to double the power and add a powerful regenerative brake.

As you can see from this controller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Electric-Bicycle-48V-2000W-Brushless-Motor-Controller-For-Scooter-E-bike-/391560525645?hash=item5b2ad3774d:g:uQkAAOSwr41XIIyx

It has a brake-hi and brake-low cable. I assume the brake-hi cable will have a decent amount of braking.
 
most of the controllers have a high and low brake connector.

i think that it has noting to do with the breaking level at all.

the low break connector disables the controller when the two wires are shored together.
the high break connector disables the controller when the wire is connected to a "high voltage" 12v or battery voltage.

Ty for educating me!
 
I don't mean to be rude by butting into a thread spouting unrelated info, but you got ripped off... That same kit is on ebay for $160 and you can go to walmart and buy that same bike for about $200. Neglecting the cheap SLA's it looks like you paid 2x as much as you could've. I'd cancel the order if there is still time.
