Hey everyone,
I'm trying to find out some basic information and build a motorcycle for a specific commute.
Requirements
45+ mph
15+ miles range
seating for 2 (I know it won't get max performance w/ passenger)
Florida - Minimal hills
Frame: Sport Bike - I've found a few within my price range.
I'm currently looking at the Mars Brushless motor, and need to know what kind of power I need.
48 Volts would be Ideal (less weight and lower CG)
72 Volts if necessary
How does the AH constant affect the performance of the bike?
If the batteries are in Series to achieve 48 volts, do they need to be (theoretically) 100 Ah each to get 4800 watts or does the controller somehow do this?
Thanks for any input, especially on those last two questions.
