Finished building my 25mph Ebike

I'm gonna do A123's after my lipo' die. But I'll be going to the big prismatic cells or bigger cylindrical A123's. No point at this time to blow money on batteries, while I still have good ones that do the job.

On the forums I see people going gaga about using power poles. Deans just work fine for me.
I use 4mm bullets for my motor wires. Easy to disconnect when something happens. What is the point of having big connectors when I'm only flowing 15A continuous at most.
Getting a good tire for the supplied rim is a good idea. Tire that it came with is too skinny.
I set my suspension and seat position for comfort. I soften up the rear shocks. Lowered the seat post. Moved the seat back a bit.
Cruise control doesn't sound like a bad idea when going 2 miles straight. Holding the thumb throttle gets your hand tired.
Is good to have some type of logger to see your battery usage.
Throttle control gains range.
Hill climbing doesn't require gear changes anymore.
I don't have to wait in the back of the traffic line anymore. I scoot all the way to the front.
If you really want to pedal at top speed, I suggest getting a 11T sprocket.

For upgrades:
I ordered up the new speed control for a bit more power and ability to tweak the controller at will by the use of a pc.
Upgrading the motor wires when I get a chance.
A more powerfull hub for a greater top speed(not high on my list though).
