    That if you rewind the motor to reduce the angular velocity per Volt, the amount of torque you get per Amp will increase proportionately. If you have a motor wound to run at a given speed on 24 Volts and you want to rewind it so that it runs at the same speed on 48 Volts, you double the number...

    Hi d8veh, I took that as read. For a given specification, it makes no difference if the motor is designed to run on 24 Volts or 36 Volts. A motor's velocity constant is the reciprocal of its torque constant. Miles

    Errrrr, no. As far as motors are concerned, the voltage they are designed to work with makes no difference whatsoever to their efficiency.

    Velospeed, In the brochure for the Daum bikes it says: "..... A two speed transmission, located in the waterproof housing, changes almost noiselessly as needed to compensate for lighter pedalling". Is this just a mangled translation or does it really have a 2 speed automatic gearbox between...
