Good evening all, does anybody know what torque i would get from a 500watt rear wheel motor with a 36volt battery and a 30amp controller. Thank you.

Genuine 500 watt motor? Or one disguised as 500w, but is actually a 1000w motor.

What ampere is your battery?

I run 10s 13p on a 1000w motor guised as a 500w. Slow on hills 28kmh. If that helps.

Hello Andy1865. All the best on your build. Good quality cells make the difference the bigger motor and battery make a huge difference when upon an incline.

It's a Direct Drive hub motor so will have fairly low torque though high speed.

It may well have no more or even less torque than your original Freego Hawk motor, just a speed gain.

I ride on a 4t direct drive hub, the hub is capable of 48volt, 52v without concern, without specific knowledge of a motor... However, Samsung cells are good quality and again depends on specifics, performance, etc.
