Yes I searched!
So Im hovering over my keyboard just itching to order my parts and the last thing Im pondering is using a 24in wheel instead of the 26in wheel in back keeping the 26in wheel up front.
Benefits of the smaller diameter is more torque, higher efficiency in a DD and lower center of gravity.
Downsides are, slightly slower speeds, steeper angle on bumps and possible peddle clearance in corners.
I like the idea of using less watts overall with the smaller wheel and bumping the volts to add a little more top end.
Recently as some of you know Ive been bouncing from 48v to 72v and now I have a email in to Paul about building me a 60v battery
seems to be a reasonable compromise between battery size and top speed. I think with a 60v battery (Paul usually makes them run
a bit higher voltage) would get me into a comfortable 35mph and using the sim tool it seems to be more efficient.
My question is for those that have replaced a stock 26 inch wheel with a 24in is do you like it? Did it change the cornering ability much?
Have you caught a peddle in a corner? Would you recommend this over a 26in motor?
My plan is to put this on a full suspension bike but I haven't had a ton of luck finding the right used one so possibly a hardtail and I should include
my GT Dyno Cruiser into the mix of possibilities. The downside to the Dyno is the dropouts will need to be spread to fit the wheel but I had to
do that with my other Dyno when I motorized it.
Thanks...............Again!
