Guys,
Finally got my first build done and out on the road today.
Runs smoothly however top speed is lower than what I thought.
Using 6s setup with NTM 270KV motor. Gearing is 15 - 44 and using 83mm wheels. So based on my calculations theoretical top speed is 19.6mph however I am only hitting 12mph to 14mph.
I weigh about 205 pounds. Roads are mostly flat with slight uphill but only hitting 14.6mph on slight downhill and 11-12mph on flat to slight uphill.
Just wanted to make sure that is within range based on the load the motor is trying to push.
Thanks!
