Smart Pie 12"

[Just]

Hi All,

As for the Smart Pie 12" motor, where can I see its specifications - max power, speed, etc?

Is 12" for rim or wheel?

Thank you!

i imagine you can put through 400+ watts.  24 mph would be a good aim.

if you have a 48 volt battery try 10 amps. if you have a 36 volt battery try 12 amps.

Is this 12" wheel or 12" rim? What are the external dimensions with a tyre?

Interesting, if I'll not limit the current in the Controller, how much would it able to draw on the hills...

Is there a matter how much current to define for peak current?

yep, you would not much more than 400+ watts at peak to start with, and go from there.

Here's a quote from Bikemad's review from the reviews page.........
