Ignore Andy-Mat, all others are posting good, well informed, advice.

I think 22 amps is a bit high for your motor at 48V unless you know what you're doing.

I think that on some displays you can adjust the amps (Cycleanalyst v3)? Not sure whether this adjustment is available on the KT-LCD3 (Y01)? According to the KT-LCD3 instruction manual, Parameter C5 = "Controller maximum operating current adjustment mode".

The various adjustments are given in a table and state "When C5 setting is 10, max current value is controller max operating value (ie, limit current value) when setting is 9, maximum current value divided by 1.1, when setting is 8, max current value divided by 1,15 and so on". Setting 6 is maximum current value divided by 1.25 which would equal 17.6A on a 22A controller?

Am I understanding the above correctly, or does it all mean something else? If correct, will the KT-LCD3 display talk to the TO9S and adjust accordingly?

The setting is the LCD, but I've never seen confirmation that it works. There's a fair chance that it will work in your controller, but you should check it using the watts read-out on the screen. Lift the wheel off the ground, spin up the motor with full throttle, then slow it right down with the brake to see the maximum watts. Repear after changing the setting to see if there's a difference.

The Cycle Analyst only works on the throttle. It's basically a throttle signal reprocessor. It's no good for modern controllers with PAS function because the PAS works independently. If you were to use a Cycle Analyst, all you'd need is a basic throttle-only controller, not waste your money on a KT one with LCD.
