My thought was some way to control the E-assist motor to have it work similarly to Honda’s IMA system. The motor just filling in low end that the engine will invariably lack. Ideally I’d combine it with taller gearing but I don’t see a convenient way to do that. I did want to use an aftermarket controller for the high voltage part, so as to increase voltage/amperage. Motor was designed for 48V, I don’t see it hurting to jump that to 60 or maybe even 72V. Basically if the motor was rated for ~15hp, I’d like to see 25-30 potentially
