I think 25A continuous is the highest current that the later MPIII controllers can be programmed to and I always have the current settings as high as possible.
I would also leave the voltage setting at 24V, as there is nothing to be gained by resetting it to 48V as your battery's Battery Management System (BMS) contains its own Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC).
However, if you were using a different battery (without a BMS or LVC protection) it would be advisable to set the controller's voltage setting to suit your battery's voltage, as this should allow the controller's LVC to be activated if the battery was discharged too much.

If you were able to save the 30A setting it would increase the power slightly, but I think if you save it (and then click the "GetConfig" button to read the saved settings from the controller) you will find that it will have simply reset the controller to 25A continuous again. :(

You must have a different controller to mine as mine will not store the 30A continuous setting.

You should be fine running with the 30A continuous setting as this was the default setting for the earlier MPIIs.

The settings looked fine and should produce power and a top speed well in excess of your road-legal limits. ::)
I realise you would like it to be a bit faster, but what's your opinion on the Magic Pie's power?

Also, how about some more information on "plan B", I'm guessing it involves a lot more volts and an external controller conversion? ;)
