HobbyKing R/C Hobby Store : Turnigy 80-100-B 130Kv Brushless Outrunner (eq: 70-55)
I want to have an electric bike that can go 50 mph or so for about 5 miles down a very gentle hill. I have been flying electric RC planes a little and I am really impressed by the LiPos power to weight ratio. I know they are probably not the smartest investment for bikes, but I have to get up this grade as well. How would I gear this? I have been looking at all the different rides and drivetrains and I am impressed with all the innovation I have seen. What would it take to have a pedal-less bicycle (besides a total disregard for the Motor Vehicle Code) with just the brushless scooting it along?
