Default Re: learn as you go

I have one more test in mind. I want to switch the drive wheels. I want to try the bigger wheel on the 350watt motor. I also want to try the 450 motor with the 12" wheel again. That will answer two questions for me. What difference the wheels makes in the speed of the bike and the range of it.

If the 450 gets better range, then the wheel has an effect. If the wheel give me more speed and better on the hill performance then that also is something I need to know. I would love for the 350 with the big wheel to be the best compromise solution.

If that proves to be the case, I can use that configuration for all the pushers I ever need to build.
