I'm using 3.00x16 Shinko Trials tires on 16" rims...should be 21-22" diameter when fully inflated. I weigh 155 on a good day and hope to keep the bike and battery pack under 125 if possible. I am concerned with torque...I live in Tennessee on the Cumberland Plateau. Lots of old mine roads...

One option could be the old Yamaha Mini Enduro 60 or the MX/Enduro 80 from the early to late seventies. Two strokes and four gears.

That points me in the right direction...I'm wanting to use a couple of them to build an ultra lite motorcycle based on my own bmx style frame....wanted an idea how far I could push the cheap motors and not fry them the first day...although I probably will eventually...

How much reliable power can I potentially pump into a hub motor rated for 1000 watts at 48 volts. I am looking at the Hallomotor direct drive 48 volt 1000 watt hub motors, with the oil cooling mod. Is it better to boost the voltage to 60 or 72, or keep the voltage at 48 and boost amperage. Sorry...
