What is your Max Wattage?

We have everything here, from those running legal in the wattage repressive nations of the east, to the outlaws who can melt tires in the wild west.

I figure we haven't done this in a while, and builds change. lately Lipo is getting cheap and high wattage is getting easy. So post what you got and we'll see what the average here is.
This poll is for bicycles only. Mostly. Use your best judgement. Round to the nearest choice.
I set up the poll so you can add 3 choices.
 
Well let's see I can do a steady 150W, about 400W for a few seconds and once I spun up to right around a horsepower and hyperventilated!

...oh wait you mean my ebike...today it was 958W peak :wink:

I'm pushing ~6000watt i think Mr Recumpence SiR is going to head the
'outlaws' (e-bicycles anywayz) with his new tire melting effort...

KiM
 
2500 watts if I configure my pack to 74V nominal. At full charge I'm at 84V and 30A.

I've only done that once, close to 40mph on a cheap mountain bike. Once is enough. :mrgreen:
 
20s Konion pack and a ping booster pack gave me a voltage around 98v fresh off the charger with a 45A controller. I could get 4000w+ for a short period of time.
 
I have watched my CA read 150+ amps (thats 14,100 watts!) as I climbed a hill passing cars ans holding 94 volts on a full charge with me 24s 10 Ah 20 pack. And peaks registered on the CA as hi as 330 amps (thats 31,000 peak watts) Then again my X5 has cooling fans and eats 900 W/H in less then 15 km lol! :mrgreen:
 
Do you want absolute max peak wattage we've seen out of it, even by accident, or do you want max continous wattage that doesn't turn the motor into slag? :lol:

Cuz the former would be well over 3500W, on CrazyBike2, during a chain-jam situation that allowed the motor to pull the rear wheel out of the dropouts, bend the rim, destroy chainrings, chain links, etc.

The latter is probably closer to 700-1000W; it's actually only rated about 650W, and I doubt I could push lots more thru it without eventual damage.
 
Another crazy Aussie here, I throw my 5000w and 8000w hats into the ring. Strictly for offroad use of course :mrgreen:
When I'm on the road I limit it to 200w... and walk along side :lol:
 
Wattage-Peak:
For a short time in April I had mine cranked up to nearly 1500W; I dug the hell out of it and wanted more... until I went on a long bike ride and realized the range that I was loosing. I have since cranked it back to 1kW and that allowed me to go the distance I needed for me to achive my primary goal: The 101 Club.

Wattage-Battery:
I currently have the ability to mount 3.3kW though I will be increasing that amount by quite a bit more as P1 nears completion.
 
Lately i've seen my rig pull in excess of 2000W consistently, with a overall peak of about 3400W. The max amperage spike i've seen is 140. That exceeds my Turnigy WM's rating! Brushed motors tend to be able to pull a little more useless amperage though I would imagine...
 
3500W peak at 30v. Although I'm using a brushed setup and that reading is coming out of the battery...I seriously doubt I'm actually delivering that power to the rear wheel!
