I still need to look in to my controller options, but if I remember correctly there is a 400amp and a 600amp alltrax that work with my setup and voltage, I think that the 600 amp controller would be over kill, but it would allow me to see what the motor peeks at, then swap to a smaller controller and put the 600amp in my Comuta-car as I still have the relay based controller in there.
My goal is to have this motor, when it hits 2,000rpm for the bike to be going about 50-55mph, I know it's asking alot of this motor, so there are some things that I'll just have to wait and see about.

You're probably right - at 600 pounds the motor won't be working too hard. What kind of controller do you have in mind?
