Nice to hear about the Nine Continents motor... ebikes.ca offers three flavours:
http://www.ebikes.ca/store/store_nc.php
"Currently, the motor kit is available as a front or rear hub with two winding types, a fast 2806 version for 20" wheels, and a slightly slower 2807 turn model for 26" and 700c hubs. At 36V, both setups will have no problem maintaining the legal limit of 32 kph while going up moderate hills, and can go faster than this on the flats. As well, we have a small number of the higher RPM 2806 windings available prelaced in 26" rims for those who want a faster speed. The hubs have been added to our motor simulator for complete performance details."
"5 turn winding
We have a limited number of even faster speed 2805 hub motors available in 20 inch rims for those customers who want to achieve greater speed without going to a 48V battery pack. Please email us for ordering these kits."
Curious which winding you went with please? I actually have a very old Crystalyte 16" brushed 600W cast hub motor to play with. Gonna put it up front to remove any possibility of wheelies...

Different geometry could be applied to help further slow steering down? Rake, trail adjustments? Steering dampener, perhaps?
I have found this also with the Currie built scooters... always wondered whether a diff geometry would help... For now I am just planning to copy the geometry from a good folding bike design.
