I don't quite know how you can easily convert the analog e-bike throttle signal to a PWM servo signal, but I messaged the person I know that did it... I mean, you could use a microcontroller, but that's a pain.

Neat! That's what he was using. You could do the same thing with the X1 pro.
But, I am planning to try the ASI BAC 855 so that I can use 72V. I already have too much torque, I could use more motor speed so that I don't have to shift and don't have to use small gears.

The gen 1 controller sucks, but hopefully the gen 2 is getting better. But, I love the level of integration with the stock CYC controllers. They allow very tidy and neat installs. The firmware and app are getting much better with updates. The new app looks good and has logging, real-time dashboard stuff. And the display is nice.
All the mechanical stuff is great and only getting better with new iterations. Probably very similar performance for a lot less money.
I'll be wiring up my Domino throttle when the ASI controller arrives. I would have requested the gen 2 controller, but it doesn't support PAS, only torque sensing. So, I would have had to change out my whole BB, etc.
Ham said:Yes Tangent is expensive for sure but if it's quicker off the mark then it is worth it
If you want fast, get the CYC with the BAC 2000 controller. Big power. But, you have to figure out where to mount the controller..
I don't want fast, or at least don't care what top speed is.n2mb said:
But I still need as much torque / power at low rpm (amps) as possible.
So the BAC 2000 still gives a huge advantage there, right?
What about compared to Nuc 24 ?
Precise control, over-temp limiting of current both also very important
Sadly a RC controller is still the most reliable fastest response controller available for this drive. It is more reliable than the mechanical hardware. My RC esc has uncontrolled phase current, and the latest hardened 219H 11T sprocket deforms and wears extremely quickly even though the controller engages very smoothly. The bolts holding the big 219H sprocket to the chainring also tend to break the heads off after a few hundred miles.

I am actually at a stage where I have as much fun if not more fun on the levo hard tail I get use every now and then so not really after big power per se...nice to have for sure though and if the build is cheaper than a levo then why not
Trying to find out more info on the gen 2 here and how it works with pas i.e. how smooth it is and different settings etc?

That's why I'm going with the BAC855. I don't need huge power. When I'm on the trails, I only use the lowest setting, which is about 600W to 700W continuous. On the road, I use 1500W max while pedaling. I guess if I had a working throttle I might use the full 3.5 kW, but can't use it while pedaling now....
