You're right. Don't expect the 750 motor (at 36 volts) to be 750 watts at 48 volts. It will be more. The power will increase, but in a way that will be...

Quantification is important- thank you Dave. Doesn't the drop of voltage vary with the input voltage ie Is there not less loss on a specific gauge in higher...
Sean, The unit I got from Kenny screws on the threads of my hub. The calipers must be bolted onto a fixture welded to your frame. You will have to screw...
FWI High Frequency the skin effect causes the current to flow on the surface of the conductor instead of the center so that IF you have a bunch of strands...
The voltage drop across a given size and length of wire varies proportional to the current (Ohm's law E=I*R). What varies proportional to the input voltage is...
In numerous e-bikes over the past 3 years, I have used mostly 10 gauge stranded house wire, since I had a big pile of it. IT works great for short runs, which...
Nope definitely 10 gauge. Even the crimp on connectors used are the standard yellow coded 10 gauge crimp on connectors. What does help tremendously to ensure...
