I am suprised to see you messing around with Minis again.
D8VH thought the Q100H had, at most 10% more power that the regular Cute. That would still be less than the MXUS, a motor that you were less than impressed with. I still run a frt. MXUS on a 22A LYnn and it will wall away from a Cute(both on 12S).
I suspect the bulk of any performance gain is from 260 rpm @ 36V. The MXUS is 270 rpm and this really is the range for a mini. A single 201 Q100 spins out of rpm around 19-20 mph and a 328 runs out of power around to same speed. On the flat, I would think the Q100H would top out the same as the MXUS, 22 to 23 mph on 12S.
Must folks that have commented on the Q128 here has thought it a Dog.
I'm rather shocked that anyone here remembers what i was doing ~4 years ago!
I never hopped up the MXUS at all, just heard good stories about it *after* i sold the motor. Cell_man advised me not to buy one of his 6fets as an upgrade and sold me on the MAC, and shipped me a controller that was mistakenly programmed for 42A instead of 35 or 30A... lol.
What bugged me about the MXUS mainly was it's freewheeling - it was awful at that. I even rode a brand new one the other day and realized that mine wasn't just a fluke - it just always has some pedal drag and that sucks.. the MAC by contrast is smooth freewheeling as a regular bike wheel.
Maybe it's a good power motor.. it's just the freewheeling that turns me off is all.
I've lost 60 pounds here in the last 6 months, so i am getting back to my original plan that i came to the forums with.. light, and at low speeds where pedaling input still makes a good contribution. I've got a gutted motorcycle hanging out for purposes of going fast later as an EV. I've done 47 on an ebike.. i had my fun. It's time to upgrade.
The people who thought the Q100H was a dog.. did they ever bump up the power, especially the amps? on 201rpm, you are doing 15mph on 36v and that's pathetic. 48v, you're doing 20mph just barely.. but that's not bad for a geared motor.0T chain ring.
I know there's been a lot of disappointment with the old Q motors, but nobody has done science, posted videos, etc for the H series. So with that, i'm all for pioneering.. at worst, i'd have not paid a lot for the motors.
