Just a quick update.
As you may remember I was running a rear 24v 250w motor and a front 36v 250w motor.
Both controllers were set to 9A cont. 18A peak.
Highest peak wattage seen shared between these two motors with a 54v 20ah battery was 750watts, but I have no idea how this was being shared between the different rated motors.
I actually saw 34mph on the Cycle Analyst which was accurately setup and tested against GPS. This of course was going down hill with freewheel ability being a big helping hand
23mph is an average speed recorded on flat ground.
....
I now have x2 36volt motors running together as the 24v was removed from the rear wheel and relaced by Forum member DirtyGinge (The great teacher that he is means I will be able to tackle this task myself in the future, thanks Mate!).
average top speed on flat remains about the same, 23-25mph
there is a little more 'umph'/torque on initial acceleration but torque is still very very limited compared to a pie
.
The ride/acceleration seems a bit smoother
With controller setting remaining the same as above I've recorded a peak wattage of 830w, with 800 coming up more commonly.
At present I feel that I can get away with this power delivery as long as I pedal on take offs and of course on hills. I always pedal TBH anyway.
I highly recommend the dual mini set-up, I find it a much more relaxing leisurely ride than riding the Pies, that is if you want to keep the overall feeling that you are riding a bicylce.
I've also had to change my front chainwheel to a 48 Tooth, and I've got a rear freewheel with an 11 tooth cog on the end. I find I use only the two highest gears when upto speed, and maybe 3 to 4 below that when having to stop at traffic lights ready for quicker start off the line.
