Also, as battery voltage drops, so does the output of the motor. So if you start out at 500-550W you end up with 100-150W less power as the battery depletes.

My original Cross Current peaked at 13A @ 48V. From what I read on the Juiced Bikes EBR forum most people with the original Cross Current had trouble maintaining 28mph. The bike can hit 28mph if you have the right conditions but in real world conditions you weren’t going to see that most of the time. I now have a 20A controller which is almost 1000W of power.It’s a lot easier to hit and maintain 28mph now.
