I have some questions about the BBSHD, particularly when I should be shifting for best efficiency and least stress on the motor.
For example I have it geared so it will hit right under 20mph in the lowest gear, and as I wind it up the watts drawn slowly drop as I approach max speed. Typically I will shift up just as the watts starts to drop.
But say I keep the throttle maxxed out even after the watts drops down (meaning max rpm I believe?) am I stressing the motor too much? I have read these motors like to spin fast, but how fast exactly? And should I always upshift once the watts begin to fall on full throttle?
Will I hurt it or negatively effect reliability by continuing to ride at full throttle even if the watts drawn have fallen way down (ie I have it programmed to a max of 1000w but at 20ish mph or whatever in the lowest gear, that will fall down to 2-300ish watts).
Cheers. I love this motor and would like to keep it running for as long as I can.
