The highest I ever recorded with my daily rider was 172kph, and it had a bit more since it was still accelerating when I let off the throttle. Plus it wasn't at full charge. My newer ebike is running the same motor with a 6% larger diameter wheel and the extra cell I added in series gives it a 6% higher voltage fresh off the charger, if I get good enough aero then I may be able to surpass 190, but no way my current setup will push past 200. My problem is finding a place to make a top speed run, however, since yours is dead, as far as I know I have the fastest hubmotored 2 wheeler. Plus it's street legal.

The sound of 172kph on those sketchy Costa Rica roads makes me want to visit you again my friend.
