I have an old ebikeling 48v 1200w direct drive kit that I'd like to modify with statorade on the magnets and heat sink fins on the hub to run it at either 60v or 72v at either 3000w or 5000w. I've seen youtube videos of people doing this with very similar cheap 1000w DD hub motors from alibaba/aliexpress and they seem to have success with keeping the heat low and tolerable.
Is there any other mechanical/electronic part inside a 1200w/1000w direct drive motor that could still overheat when modded to run at 3000w/5000w with statorade and heat fins? Is the motor cable coming out of the axle fine with going from 48v 1200w 35amps to 72v 5000w 80amps?
From what I could find it seems that direct drives are all very similar and all very sturdy motors, so what would be the build difference between something like Ebikelings 1200w DD and their 3000w DD? Would the 3000w be built differently internally/externally to handle more heat? Or are 1200w/1000w DD motors almost exactly the same but just cheaper and need statorade and heat fins to run at higher watts?
