can the torq go faster

[nigel]

Hi everyone
are there any ways to get more speed from the torq your views would be most welcome would it make any difference with a more powerfull battery or is 26 mph the most we can get NIGEL

Turning into a speed junkie Nigel?

26mph is pretty quick!


The technial answer is yes, but you'd need a new controller and a new battery minimum, possibly a new throttle and you'd be into experimental territory with other possible problems such as overheating. Definatley possible but not as easy as deristricted something. you could of course start pedalling a bit harder

Actually you might not need a new controller, it depends on what voltage the components in it are rated at. you'd definatley need a new battery though.

Thanx baboonking
its good to know its possibile to make the torq faster at top speed it seems to go really well without to much strain as you say it must be possibile to coax a bit more speed. NIGEL.

Yes, more volts and a new controller as Baboonking says, but overheating in hot weather could become a problem. When run flat out with high battery drain in over 30 degrees C conditions, the Torq motor can get too hot to touch as it is.

It's a very compact motor for it's power, and the smaller the casing, the more difficult it is for heat to dissipate into the air.
