Made some changes that _Gonzo_ suggested, and I went through the Kelly manual and made a ton of adjustments, including his suggestions.

All I can say is holy sh*t. It is a rocket off the line now, even with my fat ass on it, and no odd noises. No time today for an extended ride, but I am betting it will go even faster than 62mph, and get better miles. It is 100% improved, and way more fun to ride. It nearly pulled itself out of my hands the first time I nailed the throttle. NOT exaggerating!

Thanks so much for your help -Gonzo_!

I guess it’s time to challenge some Tesla’s.

Finally had a chance to get in another ride. It was a beautiful day around the city, so I puttered around, trying not to go WFO on every take off from start.

Start Stats:

Stop for fun:

End stats:

42% battery use at 21 miles. No reason I can't do 40 miles on a charge. I wasn't overly gentile, and you can see that I did a nice average, and though I wasn't going for top speed, I still did 56mph, just puttering around town.

Overall I am quite happy with the results. Smooth and quiet, and plenty of power.

Replaced this, which barely worked:

with this, that works much better. Everything is correct except I have not reset the battery percentage yet.

By attaching it here and feeding the wires forward, the hardest part.

Most is hidden by this.

This thing is a ton of fun around town, easily keeping up with DC and VA traffic.

Beautiful day for a ride around the town.
