Well. I guess it is time to see what the Currie and the 750 watt 36 volt gear reduction motor is capable of at 50 volts and 1,000 watts.
The beginning of the video will show the front brakes in action where I slowed down quickly from 25 mph and turned right on the corner where the car was going to pull out. Also it was a 15 mph school zone so should not have done it there anyway. The second half of the video was Chrysler av. on my way to the grocery store where I got 27 or 28 mph. I will have to watch it again myself.
The second video shows how the chain is perfect. Not too tight and not too loose.

Also The LiPo packs seen to have held up well under the full throttle conditions , Especially since one is an 8.0 - 6S pack and the other a 10.0 - 6S pack. There was very little difference in voltage after the run as you can see.
I see a lot of videos and information regarding puffed up LiPo packs and packs with a bad cell. Most of the time they do NOT recommend removing a puffed up pack but can remove a low or unstable cell. I am sure I told all of you that I have both problems as the 8.0 - 6S LiPo as well as the 10.0 - 6S LiPo were both purchased from e bay in pairs. The puffed up 10.0 - 6S pack is still out in the garage inside a dryer where it has sat for over a year now I think and the 8.0 - 6S pack is on the front porch in a cash box. It has a very unstable cell. I do not know of anyone who can remove the bad cells, and install 5S balance plugs.
Also it is not legal to ship a puffed up pack. I would love to have it done but do not want to attempt it myself. Any suggestions on that as I would rather get my $$$ worth than having a LiPo shoot. Another good reason NOT to shoot the puffed up pack is the carbon monoxide gas which would escape into the environment. I would need a pail of salt water below it and tie the power connectors to a long string so when it catches on fire I can cut the string and it will fall in the pail. (see attachment below). Please let me know if it will work or if it is possible to safely remove the bad cell. What do I do with it ?
Basically until I get the spoke fixed on the hub motor and the wheel trued the Currie is my best ride. Also the Currie weighs at least 30 pounds less than the Schwinn. The Schwinn is a bear hauling up and down the stairs. Thanks.
PS. I started a new post as I need information on sprockets for the 1,800 watt brushless motor so I can go 50 mph and can't seem to get the answers here. The name of the post is help with wheel and motor sprockets if anyone is interested. Thanks.
