EX street tire question

[AbnormalWrench]

I did a couple freeway rides the other day on street tires (stock gearing, 18" rear), as long as you keep it under 65mph it doesn't tend to go into limp mode. But I definitely noticed as the battery gets lower, it is more likely to engage limp mode and when it does, it tends to be more intrusive. At one point, I passed someone because they were being dumb. I briefly hit 75mph, and the bike went into limp mode and slowed down to 45mph, which forced me to pull over to prevent from getting ran over. IMO, they need to mellow out the limp mode, it is dangerous to be suddenly slowing down to 45 mph on the freeway

Do you run the 12-48 on the street? Just forget about that. At least 15-48, maybe even taller.

Turn off regen, then you can coast.
