It has a 0-5k pot throttle(Magura twist - very common). I would love a better throttle, but aside from building one there doesn't seem to be many other options. IMO, 90 degrees is a bit stingy - I...

Yeah, I clicked "post" a bit soon! That belt had a small blemsih on it when I got the bike, but it held up to the 200 pound machine on lead power without issue. It lasted about 10 minutes in its...

Got the modules installed last night and went for a night run! WOW what a difference the lipo conversion made. First ran at 66% current limit(200 amps) then in full power mode(300 amps at 74 volts in...

Generally speaking, yes - as long as the appropriate wind is used for each voltage. (1/2 the kv for double the voltage). A given motor will certainly have its "ideal" voltage and current range,...

Not likely without cooling. That is a lot of continuous power output for an RC.

The balance taps could be tucked under the top cap(removes with 2 screws) - not a huge concern for me personally so I left the taps out to make module balance charging easier(plug and play). A snap...

Yes, though it has the standard 25mm/1 inch bolt pattern so you would need an adapter. It will accept up to around 46mm diamter motors.

I don't think the material is necessarily fire retardant, but it isn't flammable, either. The actual packs are almost sealed within the module, too - not much air = not much fire. The packs could be...

Yes, the packs are Hyperion 25/50c 5s 5000mah - 24 of them altogether. I should easily get a few hundred cycles out of them as they will only max out at 10c discharge and won't be over-charged or...
