wheel back together. ran adaptto autodetect on the bench w/ stromer batt using aligator clips:
rewired batt port inside bike to go thru frame to controller under BB:
i fastened all the wires up ship shape, popped the battery in, adjusted the min/max voltage and gave her a ride.
a tiny thrust of power under boost mode (20A), but then power dropped rather quickly. seemed to have some power at start, but faded at speed. and the odd thing (clue?) was that the speedometer never read above 4mph. seemed like to it, 5mph read only as 1mph. 10mph read as 2mph. 15mph as 3mph, and 20mph as 4mph. so this makes me think there may be some odd controller configs.
actually, first i just thought the batt was toast; that it was floating up at full charge voltage, but it was gutless. voltage was read as low as 36V under load, but that's not that bad..
anyway, to rule it out, i took it out to have a peek:
i unscrewed the leads to borrow the connector...
and put in 2x 6s packs in series, for 44V nominal
got a nice kick at first, but then gradually, power drops to nothing..
and the same deal w/ speedometer, max 4mph when should read 20mph.
here's a vid of acceleration. unless i'm braking, it's WOT:

i have boost profile set to 56A/146Ip A.
damn, i thought i'd have this done today.
any thoughts anyone?
be nice if the batt was ok, and it was just an adaptto callibration thing.. i count 18 poles on the motor, right?
