500w 36v Front Wheel Ebike Build by an Ebike Noob

My first attempt at an ebike build. There's a lot of information out there, a lot of which I found confusing. I wanted to keep it simple so I went for a front wheel drive kit from Ebay. 500w was the max power i wanted on the front wheel and with a 10s 37v lipo battery it cruises happily at 25mph on the flat. With a 36v Bottle Battery it will cruise along at 21-22mph which is fine. I forgot to mention that the kit comes with a pedal assist sensor which I didn't fit because I wanted it to be throttle only. The controller is fine with the 10s Lipo so I'm going to try 11s and 12s to find out how quick it can go. I'll update with the findings.
