Thanks for the info, here’s some for you. I use the 100mm Meepo hubs (540w “pro” version) and you can amp them up to around 1000w no issues. I also average about 18Wh/Mile so 22-24 mile range with a 10s4p 30q pack.
They don’t have crazy off the line acceleration but with the right battery and settings they can pull hard all the way to top speed.
Per hub, I currently run them at 900 watts (nominal).
at 10s, that’d be 90 max amps per motor? (75amps at 12s)
Make sure you divide by voltage, not series number. So 900watts/36 volts = 25 amps from the battery goes to each motor. This would be my max power output of 1800 watts.
Now motor current is different, so 900 watts/45 motor amps = 20 volts. So what does this mean? As per my current understanding it means that up to 15 mph my motor will take up to 45 amps. After 15 mph, the amps are reduced as the voltage goes up but the overall power rating never exceeds 900 watts. I hope this is correct and not too confusing.
My setup is 45/-35 motor and 50/-20 battery. 50 motor amps is the recommended limit I got from the folks at Carvlab. I assume 90 motor amps would instantly melt this motor.
herp derp, you’re right
