Are any of you E bike guys using just one gear for off road and on road? Im finishing up my first Mountain 26 inch E bike build. Im using a Voilamart 48V 1500W rear hub motor. Ive electrified, fabricated, and modified quite a few push scooters and peddle go karts to E vehicles. All my other builds from my 24 Volt rc lawn mower and 48 Volt e scooter and 48 Volt E go Kart all use a stepper or direct 48 Volt 1500 Watt motor. I adjusted the gear ratios on these items until I got the right amount of torque and top speed that I liked. To do this I would start with the biggest gear ratio that I had on hand. Im using T8F chains and sprockets on all those other builds. The lowest teeth motor sprocket I have is a 9T and the biggest wheel sprocket Im using is a 74T which gives me a ratio of 8.2. This literally gives me standing wheelies on my e scooter and a top speed of 25 MPH on flat concrete. For me I like a blend of off road and on road or a good combo of torque and top speed. This generally will be in the 4.5-5.5 ratio range. Should I just feel out my E bike the same way and then just leave it in that gear? I get the change the gears for hills and again for speed on the flats for maximum efficiency. I just found out about the Sur Ron Bee electric motorcycle that uses only 1 gear and from the videos, it seems awesome off road and on road. The Sur Ron seems to me the exception when talking about 1 gear to multiple gears for E bikes. Granted it is a 60V 6KW beast. For e scooters and e go karts, most of them adhere to the 1 gearing theory. Sorry for the long winded post, just curious if any of you E Bike guys rock just 1 gear.
