We are stuck with using 200watt 'Legally' in Australia ... simple way around it you have Photoshop LoL
Here's show i got around the pesky law-->
200watt is pathetic and really rather pointless IMHO yes it is the law but laws were made to be broken right
We have 48cc motorised bicycles here also, they are FAR more powerful than
200watt but are allowed to ride about the place, doesn't seem far to me, 200watt V's 48cc
there simply no comparison in performance, my brothers ICE 48cc happily crusies at40-50km/hr
and isnt troubled by hills at all this simply isnt possible with a 200watt electric motor regardless
of how many gears you run it through it just doesn't have the 'oomph' ie. torque, they wouldnt
pull the skin off a custard tart ;-S
I have another friend with a moto identical to yours in his custom crusier-->
this thing PISSES it does 70km/hr with one speed, he has now 99% finished fitting the shift kit to it
along with a tuned pipe...alas...i don't think i will have the power to beat him anymore ...
UPGRADE time for me too LoL

p.s can't really help with the 36v 48v question buddy, i would guess 36 volt would be doable 48v probably pushing the limit of the motor though...perhaps someone else here will be of more help here...
