No battery is too much for electric motor. Controller can take only so much Amps and the motor too , but that is in no relation on a battery specs (unless you hook it directly to the motor and go uphill). It's like you've asked is it 1000 gallon of fuel too much for a lawn mover . Weight of that battery is what you should consider.

I have been using two lawn mower battries with no controller for two seasons. The bike uses the rear seven gears. Battries are heavy & bukly but cheap.

I have a Deep Cycle Battery. I used it to test my 36v 500watt motor on my push trailer. The trouble is this battery 12V 93AH is a very heavy (66LB).

If you planned to used a deep cycle batt the problem arises when it runs out? You have all that weight to now tow around on your bike

the weight, the sheer size, the cost always made them unusable in my mind. That is just my opinion. If you use two or three of those where are you going to put them on the bike?
