Hey everyone,
So I just ordered my QS205 50H V3 but it doesn't come with spokes or a wheel... so I have to build this myself.
I plan on running anywhere from 7,000w up to 10,000w peak (96.6v max charge battery with up to 100 amp peak output).
I've been asking around about which 26" wheel to get but people keep telling me to get a 19" motorcycle or moped wheel "like they have"... But I really don't want that. I know it would give me more torque (and slower speeds) but... I'm more interested in speed than torque. Plus I already have all the other parts for 26" wheels besides the spoke and actual wheel (I have a stock of 26" tubes, multiple types/styles of 26" tires, tire armor, etc).
Can anyone suggest a setup (spoke gauge, wheel brand and wheel model) for a 26" wheel for this thing (no other sizes, just 26")?
I have pretty hefty 26" tubes and tires that I think can handle higher speeds (will test thoroughly before riding though) and I think with something like 12-10 gauge spokes and a strong wheel, it'll do ok.
I already know the spoke sizes, just looking for a good, strong 26" wheel to purchase. Anyone else out there riding with a similar setup?
PS. If this has been discussed before, please point me to the post! I couldn't find one.
Thanks in advance!
