Hi all! Just thought I'd post an update over 200 miles of e-power later. 
Been averaging between 18-32 watt/hrs per mile with anything from heavy to no pedaling.
Things are going good with it - just fighting the occasional thing that comes loose. Also fighting with my chainline, as earlier this week a chain tube slipped forward and allowed the chain to saw through half my balance wires! I've mounted it more properly now, but I'm watching it closely!
Debating reconfiguring things to run @ 18S. Would screw up my 48V-->12V converter system though. Really just want better off the line torque, and maybe a few mph's worth of speed increase. (Currently tops out around 32mph with no pedaling on flat ground, 20mph up a decent grade, pulling about 1600watts, if I could hit 35mph no pedaling, keeping up with traffic would be no issue at all). Another bummer is instead of a one plug charge solution, suddenly I'd be splitting it into 3 6S subpacks. One more turnigy pack (to total 9) and I could do a 3x3 combo for 18S 15AH.
Talking with my brother about modding my 12Fet Infineon controller to handle the 72V system. He's worried about the surface mount resistor for the regen mod, but wants to see the innards of my controller first. It's either that or I order a 72 (or higher one) from Lyen.
24S sounds fantastic, but to do it properly I'd want a second 1420I and meanwell/one plug charge kit. I have room for 4 more 6S packs if I want though, would just need to relocate the circuit breaker and the 12V dc-dc converter.
I have my lights hooked up for the time being though. Mounted a radioshack project box on the horizontal part of my right handlebar. It has two switches for front/rear lights, and houses a 12V fuse panel for other accessories in the future.
