Does anyone know if I can run two seperate speed control in series to a motor- like 4s on each for 8s to the motor... its brushed.

I know for a fact you can't. I tried on my Brushed rs4, both esc's burned up instantly when applied throttle. Nice project ben, I put a weed eater motor on a chopper. Been crusin around on that.

I bet that sounds strange.

I remember seeing an electric bike on TV like 2 years ago or so, that would assist the rider depending on the load. Have no idea how it works, or who makes it (if it even went into production), but the idea does exist.

Fets still switch current in brushed mode

Couldn't find the bike with automatic assist, but I found a kit that was on the New Inventors show here a while ago.

And the company website http://www.elationebikes.com.au/ It could have some ideas worth using.
