I have been using a flipsky 4.20 esc based on vesc and it is an enormous improvement over the KT controller I was using as it has much stronger regen, ability to set throttle curves and response as well as automatic motor setup. I have it set up with ADC throttles, one for accelerating and one for braking.
The only issue I have had with it is with cruising at full speed where if the bike tries to go faster than full throttle speed such as pedalling hard or going down a steep hill, it regenerates strongly and prevents me going any faster unless I let off the throttle completely. I don't think it is the back emf of the motor being rectified through the body diodes of the mosfets because if I let off the throttle, the braking effect stops and I can go faster by pedal power or downhill. Had a look at the realtime data and the motor is nowhere near the ERPM limit, so I'm a bit stuck about what I can do next.
