First of all, I have a 36v 500w 20ah Panasonic 18650b battery pack, rated 30 amp. Will be commuting regularly 15 miles county road each way, sometimes quite windy and lots rider input. Bike is 700c Schwinn Crosscut MTB, Chromo frame, great bike and got it cheap I am planning to get a REAR geared Ebikeling kit on Ebay, as I have read lots of good reviews. I like that the geared kits they offer are fairly light for this light rider. For the next kit, will be trying a DD out.
Approx 5" motor size for both the 36v 500w http://www.ebay.com/itm/36V-500W-Geared-Rear-Front-700C-Electric-Bicycle-Conversion-ebike-Kit-Ebikeling-/272575329540?var=&hash=item3f76c17504:m:m8JOrjLFl8mg_DUlk5fWj9w
AND the
48v 1200w http://www.ebay.com/itm/48V-1200W-Geared-Rear-Front-700C-Electric-Bicycle-Conversion-Kit-Ebikeling-/142396209013?var=&hash=item212779b775:m:m8JOrjLFl8mg_DUlk5fWj9w
controllers are 22amp/26amps respectively, with the 26amp controller being bigger and weighing more. Seems they are the same motor, maybe more copper windings in the 1200w?
Any reason I can't get the bigger kit, run it 1/2 throttle with the 36v 500w battery pack? Then later, could put a big 48v or so battery when I need more speed/ power, little increase in speed and power may make things much easier for me in the long run.
Is it feasible to run the 48v 1200w kit on a 36v 500w battery pack? Pros/cons?
