Where's Paul Rooney? E-Bike Update

The whole contraption adds almost 50 lbs to my bike, and I weigh 190
lbs myself.  The motor assist will accelerate me up to 15 mph without
any pedaling. I don't have a feel for the range yet as I have only
ridden about 5 miles so far, though I noticed no slowing down at that
distance.

Paul, your email doesn't work. I've been trying to reach you. I mounted
the same dual motors to a 10 speed bike. The NO LOAD current is 10
amps, with the wheel spinning in the air. With a 200 pound rider, I
expect 20~30 amps per motor. How are you doing? What battery did you
