It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I absolutely love projects like this. I feel like my class 1 Bosch ebike controller is really limiting what the rest of the hardware can do.

On a slightly-related note, I'd also love to replace the Bosch battery charger my bike uses for a DC-to-DC one. I'm usually charging my bike directly from a portable solar panel, and skipping the DC-to-AC-to-DC dance would make things much more efficient.
