Hey folks, I need expert advice.
I plan to build a moped using this hubmotor. It's a QS motor with 3500W stamped on it, 13" rim, originally ran with 20S LiFePo (72V max) and what I assume was 50A controller. The donor bike is pretty large and heavy (guessing ~130 kg + 2 passengers)
The bike I'm building will be much smaller and lighter (80kg), it's actually using a pitbike frame, and only one passenger. It will mostly be used for city drivimg, but with steep hills. I will probably use Nissan Leaf cells, they can provide 200A easy.
What is maximum reasonable Amps I could run the motor on under these conditions, and still keep it reliable?
