Did you try change ratios in speed all to 100%? But carefull just set to 100 and try if you can go faster than normal after that dont let it all on 100
And you are talking 45 mph or kmh ? If it doesnt help do you have your throttle conected directly to controller ? What T is your windings ? What rim size ? Also i have noticed that you have limited middle speed to 750rpm in ratios in gear settings, so if you dont have 3 speed button it is always in middle speed i think so try to change this setting to higher values too.
