Hi everyone!
Had a question about motor/wheel performance.
I have a high Kv (3T) qs205 motor in a 21inch wheel but with the tire mounted it is the same height as a 26in bicycle wheel/tire.
Its a little bit too high. I originally read that the bigger the wheel size the more top speed.
Top speed is my main goal after all.
However I was curious how it would perform if I dropped down to a 18 inch wheel ?
The motor would spin faster but Im not sure how top end results would be.
Im using a 28s (117V) pack and high current controller.
The 18 inch would also allow me to put on smoother road tires compared to the more knobby type of a 21 inch tire.
I think the lower stance would look better as well but Im concerned about the performance.
Thoughts are greatly appreciated...thanks!!
