specs:

Rear geared brushless PM motor
Castle HV110 controller
12s2p a123
Magura throttle
Santa Cruz Bullit
Marzocchi Super T fork
Built up by me

Right now it is about 20mph on 36v. I have 12 more a123 cells so I can bump it up to 48v. Yesss, feel the power!! It already pulls wheelies....
that is awsome you should get a crystalyght motor but how does your magura throttle run your hv110
