Took the bike over to the local high school parking lot today. I used a 
push from a friend and a little downhill to minimize startup current. It 
ran nicely at 20 MPH or so - about 100A battery current, 250-300A motor 
current. I probably maxed out at 30MPH, but I have the Alltrax max 
throttle set to 58% and a mechanical problem is limiting the potbox to 
maybe 75% full travel. So say I get about 50% full throttle - sounds 
about right. It's really really nice. Smooth, quiet, nice feel. This is 
going to be good when I get it right. I guess I'm going to need a bigger 
motor or gearbox though.....
