I will leave you all to it, you are obviously nuts and have WAY too much time on your hands. You lot scare me WAY more than the law ever will lol

So you are saying I should get a 250W motor and put 1000W through it instead because thats legal?

Yes that's what I was suggesting earlier. Albeit 800W.

 

[piratepete]

Yep so 48V battery and 2000W controller limited to 15mph and we are all set by law

Again this is correct. Not sure why you are suggesting with tongue in cheek.

 

[piratepete]

You said "Or you could choose to put around 800W through a 250W rated motor like most of us here and be perfectly legal and safe."

This may be perfectly legal but safety is up to the rider, not the law.

As in it's perfectly safe to put 800W through a 250W rated motor. With the necessary adjustments.

What do you mean by 'necessary adjustments'?

What do you mean by 'necessary adjustments'?

Like making sure motor won't overheat or like you have a battery able to provide required current safely.
