The controller is custom from Edward Lyen in San Francisco. It's worth the time and money(cheap for what you get) to get the controller from him over the off the shelf stuff. He has different controllers both in sensored and sensorless configs. From little 6 fets ESC's, to motorcycle level controllers. He can wire the controller up for every accessory for the availabe ebike hardware. You can tweak the controller settings with the Cycle Analyst and through your PC. You can add copper braid wires on the fet traces for higher amperage if needed.
Motor selection is up to you. The Crystalyte motors at electric rider are good stuff and can take some serious abuse if you like going overboard. Some have even soldered up thicker motor wires on those motors. I just use 12awg wires and Castle 6.5mm bullet connectors for mine now. I noticed a small increase in off the line torque. An Ebay cheapy 1000W motor will do as well. The controller is key.

It's funny, we have had the hottest August in Texas history, and when the temps "cool" down into the mid 90's it feels great!!!
