I can do over 30mph on the flat on a pedal cycle so if it won't even go that fast it's pointless.
It won't need a gearbox if you go for a 72v 1500w motor, just direct drive it.
but its not meant for that is it? its like saying a lambo does 200+ so your subaru must be pointless unless it can do that.
I think your ealso forgetting that once you put in 72v worth of batteries a 1500W motor and then enough batteries to actually give it a decent range its actually become really heavy and then outside of regulations.
So its a classic, its not going to be completely original but its going to be pretty close to it. Right now the only non standard bit will be the motor/battery loom as it offers more protection from reverse polarity.
