What is the Maximum speed that can be set?
My current eBike the SSR Sandviper http://www.ssrmotorsports.com/store/ebicycle/sandviper.html
begins to cut the current to the motor when the speed approaches 20MPH and will reduce the current to zero as my speed exceeds 20MPH (pedaling very fast on flat ground). The local roads have a 25MPH speed limit so I would like my bike to travel up to 30MPH so that I can keep pace with traffic. I bike exclusively in urban areas without bike lanes and vehicles pass me very closely. The close proximity that the cars pass me is a safety concern. I would only be traveling this speed for a few hundred yards as I go over and under bridges where there is no alternative but to ride with cars.
I understand the limitations of traveling this speed such as gear ratios, wind resistance, excessive heat in the motor, excessive current flowing thru the wires, and so on so please keep the replies focused on how to achieve a speed over 20MPH, not reasons why I should not attempt such a thing.
