    is this normal?

    Any BBS02 owners on here? What max amps you running?

    So I have a BBS02 750w. Got the programming cable to look at the settings and it came set to 22amps max current. Just wondering what others are running? Some people seem to go 25amps and some stick to 18 or 20 I'm on 52v. Great performance so far. Just wondering if going to 25 would make any...

    Enough range??

    So I'm converting a Tern folding bike to an e-bike by adding a BBS02 my typical need will be 2 3 or 4 mile trips a day but that would be mostly throttle, some hills nothing outrageous Will a 10ah battery (52v) give me enough range? Or should I go for 14.5ah? I'm trying to keep weight down...
