Hi,
I am very new both to cycling and to e-bikes. I am planning to built by own dream-bike and I've still got a lot to learn.
Anyway, I understand that some cyclers use the 20" motors for 26" bikes to increase the maximal speed. Of course, the torque (and the hill climbing ability) is lost.
1. Is it possible to do the opposite - to use 28" motor in 26" weels to improve the hill climbing ability? I understand that the max speed will drop below 15mph.
2. Will the overvolting from 36V to 42V in this case increase the max speed back to 15mph limits?
Many thanks,
Alex
