Hello
Well its raining now of course but went out and tested the Puma at 72V, first impressions are its very good indeed, it pulls very hard up to 30mph and then creeps up to a top speed of 38mph on the flat, this is with super nobbly tires though I may get a bit more with smoother road tires and a bit of fettling.
I think in ideal conditions (no wind and rain) on the flat in normal temps 40 mph would be easily held, hill climbing was great 26mph up a hill my trek normally takes at 15mph, so looking good.
The testing was going great until I noticed the power roll off, one of My Andersons has gone bad and I was only running on 2 phases, so have changed and will report back when the weather is better, will do a film as well with the gps on the bars, I can put the gps in my pocket now.
I am going to really put this motor and wheel through its paces soon to see how it fares as I need to make sure its rugged enough to stand the test of time.
Cheers
Knoxie
