We'll using 6S, you only provide the single motor with so much power. If you have the wheels spinning prior to climbing up the hill it should ease the stress on that motor.
I've tested a 10S 50mm single motor setup and it can climb 10-15% inclines. However, if you stop in the middle of the hill for some reason and kick push to accelerate. You can easily burn out the motor with the added load (load being pulling myself 180lbs up a 15% incline with no momentum). Doing this too much will easily smoke the motor because your forcing the setup to undergo X load without the capability to do it. You could possibly overcome the issue by kicking twice or three times but you might as well overspec your setup. This is with a 170KV 50mm motor however, I think a motor with a bit more KV would do a bit better.
I find if you want to climb 15% inclines and higher. Either use a 63mm on 10S and/or Dual 50mm on 6S and/or Dual 50mm/63mm on 10S/12S.
So for anyone trying to climb 15% inclines or higher. I always recommend two motors. It's double the power and/or double the torque. Well worth it than burning motors every now and then.
Typically, you can also feel or notice when the motor will go out. It's when you aren't paying attention and push the motor harder than it should and it completely smokes.
With a Dual 50/63mm setup on 10S/12S, it's not likely you would ever burn out any motors or escs. I've tried close to 25-30% inclines. Anything over 30% incline, I think is almost impossible and you would need a 4WD setup but even riding up the hill you'll basically be falling off the board.
I've also noticed lower KV does not help at all to a certain extent. I probably wouldn't go less than 170KV. I even think my 170KV is a bit lean and 200 to 230KV is best for belt driven setups.
Lower KV (170kv and less) doesn't help going up a hill because it doesn't turn the wheels fast enough to gain momentum to climb a hill faster. A lower KV motor under 170KV also provides more drag because of the added torque the motors spin slower and has more resistance to it. I prefer to use 200-230KV and gear it down if you want more torque but the added spinning of a higher KV setup is ideal.
The best choice is to use a second motor to provide additional torque with the higher KV rates. This is what I've noticed...As for as EE verified.. I'm no EE. Would be nice to hear what others have to say..
