Hello everyone.
First off i need to tell you that i do not even own an E bike yet, but will in the near future.
I have done a ton of research on rear hub motors, complete systems, batteries, etc. I am NOT very smart in the electrical area, though i do know the very basics. And, very importantly, I am on a budget-
More about me so you know what and why- 53 years old, overweight -6'3", 340 lbs, so i know a smaller motor is gonna do nothing for me. my knees are shot, so riding distance is getting harder by the day. i need to exercise tho so that's why i'm here.
I've looked at 1500w kits, and for the most part they seem powerful enough with the right battery- i am looking at over- volting a 48v system with 60v 20 ah. But then i ran across 3k motors which seems even better, with not much more cost, but one big problem; no PAS. i have contacted 3 different companies (all from China) and asked why- my answer is just a simple NO.
A 1500w system may be the way to go for me, i wont be doing many hills, and i'm not looking to do 50 mph bones at my age snap rather than bend, but i do want the power and torque to get me "there", so 3k is tempting
My question for you then is this; Is there a way to set up a PAS system with a 3k motor, and if so, how?
Thanks for your time, sorry for such a long post, Mike
