I need to see an electric bike that can climb an 18% grade with 350lbs and only 500 watts. More power requires more batteries.
It should have a 30-mile range minimum with hills. I think that a ‘cyclone’ motor with it’s planetary gears, and a 24” wheel rim on a 26” wheel connected by a timing belt will be the only chance.
But I want to make sure that it will work before I start building, I’m not sure that the motor will be geared down low enough to produce enough torque with out over heating.
I need some photos and info. like gear reduction ratios. Can it be done?
