I don't use Julet cabling, I still use the older JST flat style connectors.
Originally I use the KT dual volt 6 fet 20a model but it now and then got hot and thermally cut out, when cooled down it worked again. I added a heat sink and 5v mini fans with a small 18650 2p battery which kept it cool.
For now I am staying with 36v and use a KT 9 fet 25a dual volt controller, it gives me more oomph in PAS1 & 2, only use higher PAS's for inclines.
Thank you. BTW with this controller being 36/48v dual could I use my 48v battery with say an 36V350W 27.5"? Just curious for the future as I might buy two of these controllers so I can sell the 48V350W 26" because I can't find any new 26" bikes I like for it... still going to use the 1990's diamond bike which is not ideal, I also need a new chain for it as the other one snapped =/ lol.

Yes that is what I did, I got the 36v hub kit without battery and over volted it @48v.
36v run at 48v gives you 33% more speed and torque increase.
Your 48v motor in the 26" rim you can get /have rebuilt in to a 27.5 rim save buying another kit.
I asked at an chain reaction shop about building a hub wheel and they were like... not keen on the idea lol. I'd need to find a local ebike shop by the sounds of it. Thanks again.
Finally decided I was ready to pull the trigger on one of these kits and order, to find out they're out of stock, emailed YosePower, over a month until they're back in stock! Gutted!

In your opinion, aside from carrying two different size inner tubes, what's the real world impact of running a 26" on the rear of a 27.5" frame, I'm assuming little to none?
None really maybe 1 or 2 mph in speed and few knobs who will point it out.
If you have the clearance diameter wise you may be able to fit 700c/28" instead of 26", depends on the volume of tyre you want run and can fit without issues.
Are these kits all geared the same internally, regardless of wheel size? So as you drop down through the sizes max potential speed drops off but torque increases slightly? If so, that's a bonus, and I'll definitely grab a 26er, as it's mostly hill assist, not bothered at all by top speed.
Out of the 36v batteries offered by Yose, which would you go for? Their Samsung celled packs are the 29e, which I'm gathering people aren't fond of. What are their LG celled packs like? LG MH1 or LG M26 are the available options I believe? Can't see either listed on Mooch's website.
That's an good idea. I want an modern 27.5 bike but I also have an 26" wheel hub. Is the type of 26" tire which would help lift it up just simply called an high volume one? Also the drop outs on modern bikes seem to be too small for these hubs... so how would you go about that? Even if you were to file the drop out it seems to take away too much material? I'll upload a photo of what I mean in a moment.

Not specifically designed to lift the bike or anything, but they will. Found some anecdotal info that a 26er fitted with a the xr4 linked above has the same circumference as a 27.5 wheel running a standard 2.1" mtb tyre.
Thanks mate. I'm using hybird types so I could put a taller well on the back. I just don't want my peddles to hit the floor on turns lol. Doesn't sound like much fun to go flying. Thanks for your time.
That's how my motor sits on my 26" that's why I always recommend some sort of fashioned torque arm, a good fitting torque arm can be tricky to find, some bikes (not mine) have allen bolt holes which help when fitting a torque arm.
