I recently installed a Staton friction drive with a Mitsu TLE43 motor on my full suspension bike. According to the figures posted on the Staton site I should be able to get over 40 MPH with the 1.5 inch roller that I'm using. 30 MPH is my top speed. I only have about 50 miles on the motor and am hoping the top speed improves after the motor is broken in a little more. Does anybody else have a similar setup and getting faster top speed than 30 MPH? I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the motor or if this is normal speed before break in.
I weigh 160# so the weight shouldn't be the problem.
