Just want to get some thoughts. What types of setups to people run that can cruise 35 mph? I can do 30 now on flat ground, but if I could cruise comfortably at 35 I actually would feel safer, since keeping up with traffic would be possible. Now, I have to stay off main streets when riding to work b/c rush hour traffic is just too scary and people have no mercy on cyclists and pass by uncomfortably close.
I'm running a 9-c 2806 motor, 25A infineon IRFB4110 controller and 12S RC lipo. It seems like from playing with the ebikes.ca simulator the best way to get the speed I want is to go to 18S 72V. True? Running a 2805 motor at 48V doesn't seem to quite get to the speed I would like.
Another thing, my bike is a rigid english 3-speed. Great commuter bike but might get a little sketchy at such high speeds. Perhaps a totally new build is in order one day. Anyone doing these speeds on a rigid frame?
