Now there is some upside
I will ask if that is indeed the case, and if future-bike would sell such a controller separately. Did anyone actually get one yet? On this thread I saw the experiments putting higher voltages on the normal controller and noticed speculation on a 48V controller becoming available, but haven't seen any confirmed purchases.
Today I'll pull the unit out again, see if it has some some obviously fried parts.
Meanwhile, pro-tip: color-code the wires with some tape!
