10 kW
Hi,
I bought a 9C hub motor 12s setup with a 50a controller, and I have tried to keep the watts to the motor under 2000 watts in order to avoid overheating.
Recently I have been playing with the simulator at ebikes.ca and I think I may be pushing my motor too hard.

My commute to work is nothing, but I take on steep hills when I use my bike as a trail riding machine. According to the simulator a 6% hill will kill a 9c 2807 in nine minutes flat, and a 12% will kill it in three. This is pushing 1558 watts according to the simulator.
Even if I limit watts to 1000 and full throttle up a 6% it overheats in 15 minutes according to the sim.
Should I be worried?
***update 8-8-12: VT sensor sucks, can't see readout in daylight, TG3 temp sensor works great, the motor was burnt before I got the sensor in. Motor continued to run crappily for the last several months but died completely about a week ago.
