WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE CHANGES IN YOUR CONTROLLER? Top speed, charging characteristics etc. It would be nice to have explanations of what each setting does. Is there a pamphlet for that? what increase in performance did D&D give you. Is the GE T4 controller the stock one. ---

There is a booklet with the software. I do not know the best settings for the Motor. In my case I am not after speed but distance and less stress on the motor. I wanted to see the settings as I bought the GEM a few weeks ago and knew that the battery was not setup correctly and wanted to see what else was not. ---

Not sure what your settings will do but it would be awesome if we “as a community” could come up with a set of numbers that would give users the best results. Example: Performance Tune and a High Milage time ---

Booklet name. Is it a programming book to change perameters? ---

I ordered the software , it came with cable and software on cd The manual for the controller is on the cd and gives a generic description for each parameter. Took me a while to figure out the cable and the jumper. ---

Thanks. I ordered that program several years ago but never got into it. Reviewed it this week and found a lot of information. Mine is for a T2 controller. Does anyone have a recommendation for increase of speed. Looks like elimination of max speed parameters. Regards Chili Willy ---

I noticed my battery charge indicator did not seem to work correctly. I changed #15 to 76 volts as a fully charged battery wet battery is 12.6 volts. I now indicates on the dash that the battery is discharging.
