Learning as I build and ride the electrics Bikenut. There's much information available, but often I'm leery of the source providing it. Many experts it seems, some selling product or providing paid endorsements etc. It's good to get feedback from a builder/rider with experience on higher powered components and one who rides frequently. I appreciate your input & know it's solid.
I'm really not adverse to toasting motors or controllers along the way to improve my understanding of the way things work, but it's more convenient to let others do that first and learn from their mistakes as I have on the many & varied ICE motors I've modified/re-built & I still destroyed some while racing long ago. Four stroke, two stroke, expensive or not, Chinese, Japanese, German or U.S. all same-same to me. If I put them together correctly they work great. When they don't my work sucks & I'm at fault the large majority of the time!
So when I ask for advice it's to learn things & not find reasons why that advice is somehow flawed before I even try it. So if you see I'm in error with the e-motors let me know and I'll appreciate you for it.
