That's bloody excellent mate. I love it. If you can get it to mono, I think your doing very well. You must use your body too though I assume?
I used the 5 inch Hobbywing ducted fans with KB45's & 2 Sentenials. I needed alot of road to move to top speed. Alot of clowns in cars attempting to chase me too at top speed. I was nearly charged, but I knew the law, lol.

Take care my friend on your electric bike,
Peter
