With the addition of the 48v battery and the 14a dual voltage sine-wave controller on the 250w front YOSE hub a few issues have arose, firstly the above pictures and controller storage method is perfect for the winter months however it did not fare well as the bank hol temps reached 18 deg. 3.5 miles to the edge of town and I had extreme controller faults due the heat sinks being smothered by the black coffin that is the seat bag, so a quick fix on that was to loop the cables into the bag and sit the controller above the rear hydraulic brake and secure it in place with a velcro strap and some zip ties, 100 miles later and this is now working as expected without any noticeable temp problems or securing issues(pics avail on req.). The second issue is more of an old habit, that is throttle use at traffic lights when not utilising the bikes gears to allow easy set off, even when the settings are used to allow PAS level to control throttle use, ie PAS 1 engaged and throttle used, throttle is limited to PAS 1 watts output ie slow speed. Engaging the throttle will initially apply near or full watts to the motor, the higher the PAS level the more intense this is, so even on PAS 1 there is a brief period of 500+ watts which can cause untold front wheel spin esp if I have stopped on gravel. The 250w motor has some noise vibration issues at PAS 1 and set off but nothing of major concern but has no apparent heat issues even on a long haul in hot weather.
Other than these issues, and cleaning the suspension it is now a joy to ride. As mentioned in other posts P5=10 in early testing seems to work well as a 48v battery level indicator setting however due to the dual voltage controller sometimes thinking a 48v battery at 44v is a 36v battery I still keep an eye on the real time voltage.
