Hi it's my first time posting here so if this in the wrong section let me know, I'm currently planning my ebike build and I have some doubts. I have a 141kv RC motor
It's 5kw nominal at 16s but i'm using a 13s-50Amp controller so max 2.5kw, my doubt is how to much reduction do i need, this " https://electricscooterparts.com/motorwheelgearratio.html " online calculator sais that,asuming max rpm arround 6500, with an 11 teeth sprocket in the motor and a 56 teeth one in the 26 inch rear wheel i will have a max speed of 102MPH!!! Both sprockets are avalible to me but it is ridiculous, so i need a lot more reduction.
One option i thought is a belt drive but i don't know how to calculate the size and how many teeth both pulleys need to have, also where i live they may not be avalible to me.
The other option is to desing my own sprockets and have them plasma cut from a solid steel plate, which is possible where i live.
So what do you sugest? Motor mounting and the rest of the build is not an issue.
PS: Sorry if misspelled something, im still practicing my english
