Reducing the current setting will reduce power consumed which will increase range and your motor will run cooler. I have a 36v BBS01 with current set to 18a so my peak power is 648w. Setting your bbs02 current to 14a would produce a peak current of 728w. Combined with the wider stator of your motor, when compared with my system yours will be able to climb steeper gradients or travel up hills faster or easier with the same level of pedal effort, and as a bonus you will be under the 750w power limit in most states.

But I don’t have a bbs02 and someone with considerably more experience like Karl Gesslein recommends 18a which would be 936w peak, enough to comfortably climb most hills.
