I am here to argue for less power. In my instance, they say 1200 watts. Some would dream of 50amp controller mods or 3000 watt motors and controllers. I say, that is foolhardy. The drivetrain is not meant for that. The bike is too heavy when equipped for speed, to handle.
My bike is 42lbs with 14.5 AH batt. And that is borderline too heavy. I wish I could bring that down ten lbs. In the dirt, I can do 30mph, which is too fast. So in my mind, anything over 1200ish watts, is just weighing it down.
A FAST, electric motorcycle would be fun. But a bike aint that.
So in closing, I know there are some speed demons here, and they would argue for keeping up with cars, due to rural routes, as a safety issue, but barring that, My bike still handles like a bicycle. No strange weight concentrations.
I would HATE the twenty or at least fifteen pounds that would add. And that is JUSt to up speed to 32. The fast bikes, USUALLY get close to a ton, in café terms.
Now before you call me a luddite, my R1 has 75 lbs removed, and twenty horses more. Two up on rear sprocket. IT is BUILT for that kind of usage.
My Ebike, stays close enough to stock parameters, for longevity. And fun. Much more power, and you have a tim the tool man contraption. Not a balanced vehicle.
