hi all and Harlan
so what would be the specs of a supped up with the sevcon6 controller 2012 bike? In terms of performance and range. does it reduce the range a lot or is still reasonable ?
Obviously wondering if this mod is within mods allowed to ride it on the public roads ?

I would be very much interested too - I wrote a message to hollywood electrics - no response yet :(

Harlan posted dyno data, some discussion here:

I don't think it changes the street legality of the bike, provided you're not operating with a power restricted license or some such.

You're probably not considering the upgrade because you want to poke along ;D However, if you did not change riding habits you should get a little more range with the #6. This is because it will have a lower output driver resistance because it's designed for a higher current output (it's all in the output MosFETs) and therefore it will be more efficient. It could be just a very small gain, however. Of course if you get on the throttle more aggressively than you did with the #4 controller, your mileage will be lower (I'm betting this will be the case).
I did a short ride on Harlan's #6 bike and all I can say is: Wow! :o

It will depend where you live. In Germany it will expire the street legality for sure :'(
