This guy came to fame about 6 or seven years ago when he reverse engineered a KU63 controller so that he could adjust it for his solar bike project. No it looks like he's been playing with a Bosch Active Line Motor, and running it with an external controller.

IIUC, with an external controller at 36v, it turns the crank at 180 rpm instead of 120 rpm, so he's figured out that it's a 24v motor running with a max 75% duty cycle, which seems a bit weird.

It's worth following this guy because a lot of interesting info comes from his tests to improve your own understanding.
