I see. 225A to your motor and car weight it is sluggish. Maybe on a bike with a smaller motor, it would be blistering or even hard to control.

Still, it seems like putting a slower 'acceleration ramp' on the 225A is a little like taking a guitar amp and graduating the volume control so "it goes to 11."
