Apologize for the barrage of questions/posts. Learning lots from this forum, it's greatly appreciated.
I live in BC, Canada - where our e-bike laws say 500W is the maximum. On the recommendations of many I picked up 2 BBSHD kits, which are a total gas...but obviously over the legal limit. I
I understand the laws are poorly thought out and rarely enforced, but I'd like to program my BBSHDs to at least come as close to compliance as possible for when we are riding on public roads. Would a current limit of 18A bring me towards that goal? I have the color displays as well so setting a 32km/hr limit is easy as well. These 2 settings would of course be changed up when I hit the trails, which is the primary reason I built the bike. Realistically my wife's bike would probably spend it's life at the lower setting, while mine would only occasionally be reduced.
Comments guys? Is a BBSHD at 18A going to keep me around 500W nominal?
