 Re: Just a thought Nuvinchi hubs
There is always going to be a power loss in any type of gearing/transmission. You would measure this by strapping the motor to a dyno and get an hp reading. Then strap the bike with transmission to a dyno and get another hp reading. Then you can see the power lost. This is why cars are generally rated with hp of the motor, not at the wheels.
But 25% seems way too high.
So yes, there will be some power loss, but it ends up being a net gain in usability since you can go further faster for longer. |
