Building from components

The real commute is 4.31km and 155m elevation gain. There's a lot of 6-14% grade for the second half. I would provide a link to it but I just joined MMR and don't know how. The average grade is 5.8%. The route I posted above is 1.89km with 147m gain and the grade basically increases the whole way to end at 20%! The average grade for that one is 7.6%

The 6% is easy, 14% means you will need to pitch in with some strong pedaling. I think a code 12 BPM will be fine assuming you can come up with 200 watts of pedaling on the hardest part. The simulator BPM is a code 10, so a bit faster than the code 12. I simulated with the BPM and 15Ah of 12s lipo, ie 45 volts and a 25A controller and it was fine up to 12% with only 100 watts from the rider.

Thanks, I'm playing with the sim right now. Can you explain "code" to me?

I am sure they mean how many turns of wire in the motor. A 10t is faster and a 12t is a slower winding. I should say that a slower winding motor will climb hills better without overheating.
