I would also lower my gearing to have high torque on higher voltage. Higher voltage would also increase the amount of watt hours which would increase the distance. If I'm not mistaken.
My costs make them the same for someone starting out. Who really wants a 5A lipo charger. I don't
--> 10A is decent but 5A is slow especially if you are charging 4 or 6 packs for added range.
Life Cycle is another reason to switch over. If the price is slightly the same why bother with lower cycle battery packs if I end up having to repurchase when they get bad.
C rating wouldn't matter much if we're on higher voltage. I wouldn't need to pull as many amps.
That's another issue is certain cells get bad faster than others. Especially, if you don't keep an eye on them. I'd prefer to have a BMS on board to help with that.
The higher voltage would give me the best of both worlds. Higher gearing ratio for more torque + more top speed of about 25-30mph (hopefully, haven't fully calculated).

Nov 9th sounds awesome..... Let me know the specs. I might just end up buying a few packs from you instead.

I'll have to check with vedder again. He mentioned that if the wires within the motor for a 400 or 600kv motor are able to take 10S or 13S voltage. The same motor and same weight with 260kv motor should take the same voltage. Why the companies rate their motors lower? I'm not sure. 6374 motors are able to take up to 12S. I don't think 1S would different much more. Although, that would rate 50mm motors not useable.
I'm willing to risk 2 motors to find out. Unless, someone with more electrical knowledge already knows the answer. Would be helpful.

That's fine if it get's hi-jacked by Bike ESCs. It's also something I'm sure we're also interested in.
I also agree the amount of eBike consumers vs Eboard consumers is more than 10 fold.
