anyone likely to ask would have no expertise to tell what power your bike developed
and they would need a dyno to check it. I'd definitely put an un-marked Perm motor on my bike (if I had a bike, that is...)

I dont know what little knob from dick smith would do the job, so if anyone can point me to a amp draw upperer knob thingy i would be thankful
ooooooh and if it could handle a little rain it would help as well
The Knob is the easy bit, its the part behind it that is important. usually a potentiometer. They are available in a wide range of values and types (log, linear etc).
You have to disassemble the ESC and look for a part number, marking or else get out your meter and do some measurements to determine the right one to buy.
Rain resistant ? If you buy a big enough knobby bit to cover the electrical bit and mount it inside a mostly sealed box or area, you should be right as long as you dont go swimming _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

well the little cylinder thing says this on it (6k8) the cylinder has a little flat head screw on the top that you turn to increase or decrease the power
as for the meter, i cant even pronounce the bloody thing let along have any idea what it is or how to use it
so is this cylinder the potentiometer ?
can i just buy a knob and use the one thats on there already ?
is that how it works ?

For wimps! Go HEAVIEST e-bike and get a brushless Etek motor and controller from Team Delta. I have no idea what to use a 19KW motor for except hurting myself, but I want one! World's fastest scooter, perhaps? _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

A 19kW motor is the size that they use in full blown electric cars .
