I have a total of 3000 watts 1500 front and rear with two 40 amp controllers and 48 volt for the front (which came with the bike) and 52 volt battery for the rear on a wildeway orca folding bike, now i know what your thinking but it's not one of those little clown looking foldable bike it's 4 inch square tubing for the frameand it's a swing arm setup it's more robust than any other foldable bike. This is my setup don't blast me for having a folding bike just tell me useful information besides get a different frame this is what I'm stuck with for the next 10 months or so. The torque is absolutely insane. But the top speed is only 36 mph Google and everywhere else says i should get between 40-46

Can you provide links to where Google says it should go 40-46?

If you lift the bike up and throttle it to full speed, what does the display show?
I don’t use ChatGPT for much, but it says if the bike goes 30mph with both motors are driven at 48v, it will go around 31 to 31.5 mph if one motor is driven at 52v instead.

Kv rating in brushless motors indicates the RPM (revolutions per minute) a motor achieves per volt (V) applied without load (RPM/V). Higher Kv means higher speed but lower torque. Lower Kv offers more torque. You would need a faster winding on the motor(s) or a higher voltage on the battery to go faster.
