There is a biker bar downtown called the sawmill lots of bikers go there. my new sprocket looks just like the buzz saw they got mounted on their wall. lol.
Gearing higher won't push you past 30mph.latecurtis said:3000 rpm 48 at volts. 11 tooth & 80 tooth = 31.86 mph.
like to go with a 70 tooth for more speed but not going too as it might burn out up a hill right?
i can live with 31 mph. after the 48 volt upgrade.

latecurtis said:Top Speed 40 MPH (64 KPH)
40 mph maybe more (too dangerous on mountain bike)
Acceleration is phenomenal on flat land.
UP hills I can get it up to 27 mph in less than 30 seconds.

40 mph, for a Mountain Bike, should require about 2250 watts of motor output!latecurtis said:not shure why he posted this on that build.
Unite Motor MY1020 Permanent Magnet DC
MY1020 48 Volt, 1200 Watt, 3200 RPM, 32 Amp, permanent-magnet motor.
12 gauge power leads with standard 1/4" push-in connectors.
11 tooth sprocket for #25 chain.We took a #25 chain 80-tooth sprocket and slapped it on the opposite side of the original dérailleur on the back hub with some screws and washers.

dont make any sense how he got that much speed. I believe drkangel before I believe him. but kind of hope the guys right. love to see close to 40mph on this build but the guy probley exaggerated. Will find out just what it will do if I ever get this thing togeather. I will be using the 11 tooth and 80 tooth sprocket just like he did. only difference I see is his motor turned 200 rpm faster than mine.and was 1200 watts. my motor is 1000 watts.
latecurtis out.
4 x 22Ah battery ... but SLA!DrkAngel said:Everyone likes more speed!
Well ... most everyone.
What most don't realize is the cost of more speed.
Pulled from the ebikes.ca simulator, I noted the various ranges supplied at different speeds.
Generic Mountain bike - motor only.
665w peak output motor w/48V 10ah battery = similar to a 24V 450w peak output eZip motor - pushed to 36V 675w peak output motor.
Anyway
10mph = 46 miles range
15mph = 30 miles range
20mph = 20 miles range
25mph = 13 miles range
30mph = 8 miles range
Wow! ... calculator - click click click ... Every 5mph increase in speed decreases range by 33%!
Most are shocked at the affect wind resistance plays.
Wind resistance is the major factor, but road load, tires, drive train etc. also contribute.
If you are still using the eZip hub ... then you need to remove the old freewheel and replace with ... 80T #25 w/LHS Freewheellatecurtis said:was going to just order it today but need to know for shure it is going to fit on a 26" bike wheel on the motor side. and spin in the right direction. It says it is for a scooter and freewheel. Do not want to order any more wrong parts. Please let me know if this is the right sprocket or is it a different sprocket I need. I am going to order the chain and master link today. If it is a different sprocket then please post the link as I looked all over E bay and did not see anything much different.
80 Tooth Rear Sprocket #25, 4-bolt for electric scooter that uses freewheels
Motor is too long to fit between pedals anyhow.latecurtis said:looking and looking no luck . lots of sprocket drives and under the frame mounting but no lower triangle mid drive mounts. I am puzzeled and a little disenchanted. must be missing something. It should be a popular choice as there is so much frame to attach to. It could even be welded but I cant weld.
