Actually, my comment was addressed to my friend Guerney
I ... have...... a friend?
It's a shame that you didn't find the forum first then.
I refer the honourable gentleman to remarks he made earlier:
How many amps would a legal Bafang CST rated 250W need, in order to match the Bafang BBS01B's climbing ability? Assume the BBS01B controller is limited to 15A.
I was going to convert my Dahon Espresso with a rear hub. I don't think I'll bother now. I'd get duffed up and stabbed by thugs, and my bike'd get "grabbed" on a hill.
You can run it at 48v and around 22A, It would blitz any bike/motor running at 36v and 15A on any road you're likely to encounter. There's also the Xiongda 2-speed, which is like a winch when you run it with 48v.

But Saneagle, I don't know anything about WTF PLC settings
My life's complicated enough without unfathomable and mysterious WTF PLC, no doubt requiring additional highly intoxicated and extra spitty but strangely vigorous mumblings of incantations preserved from the Age of Druids, before the Romans killed them all. Someday I'll source that woefully rare unobtanium steel alloy framed version of my bike, the one with 135mm rear droputs for a powerful motor, and make the perfect hill climbing hub driven trailer hauling monster, which also speeds over the flats.
I'm very happy at how it all worked out - I say "Worked out" because this excellent and inexpensive combination of excellent hill climbing ability, even when dragging up 90+kg bicycle trailers, while still providing speed over the flats, with the 36V controller set at only 15A drawn from a cheap battery, happens to suit my ebiking needs and wallet perfectly.
happens to suit my ebiking needs
...apart from the occasional dark night when I'm being chased uphill by your audibly unhinged mates on foot...
...which is when I will unleash 18.4A!!!!! Instead of the puny 15A illustrated above.
...because I don't know what will happen to my 22A BMS, when I draw 20A + 2A (lights soldered to battery) = 22A. Note to self: Switch off lights before unleashing 20A! If I hadn't lost so much weight, maybe I could ram and topple over the car. I used to be a blubbery orange rhino.
