Wheelies rock with a rear hub?

When I get 40wh/mi I am usually crusing at... 30-35mph.

My general guideline is that if you keep the average non-geared hubmotor e-bike to 25mph you should get around 25wh/mi without pedaling.

I don't know how fast it would go at 36v.. I got around max 25mph on 44.4v lipo with a 26" rim. Pedaling would probably get you to 25mph on 36v with the 9c, but you would be looking at about 20mph w/o pedaling.

Play around with that e-bike prediction software some and you'll see some better numbers.

Okay, are you using the "fast" version or the regular version hub motor? THe fast version uses the 2806 motor instead of the 2807. But I think I would rather get the 2807 and run a higher voltage of 48V.

bumsnogger, yeah I would have to agree with you one that, if a good belt drive or something could be made I would much rather have external drive than hub driven. Suspension would feel like garbage for sure, unsprung weight is very critical in a good handling vehicle, be it car or bike.
