There must be something in that special sauce. It seems quieter compared to the 750w. I changed my first AWD bike from 4" to 3" tires that made all the difference in maneuverability on dirt and gravel but sucked in snow and sand compared to the 4" tires. Were did you buy the 40T3 cells from? You seem to know those trails very well now. How many watts are you running on the G062? What do you have Regen set at? Well this trip seems like a full meal deal. Lots of potentially slippery leaves, all my leaves are under 12 inches of snow. It should be mandatory for all motors to have a temp sensor. Do you have to change 72v to 52v in VESC or does it self detect?
I found 72v@20A for street and 48v@30A for off road riding to be the sweet spot on that specific motor. Not including custom windings What do you think ? Also, i'm gonna start a new company named ''Peak nominal'', living in mountain makes sense now😉
it depends also on the tire size... a 26 inch goes faster as a 24 inch I have a 52v system and dual motor on my seeker26 ... pulls me up any hill and topspeed is 38.6 mph or 62 kmh so I would say 52 is a good compromise... one maybe could use 56v system (15s) cause fully charged it would be 63V and that is max voltage of the capacitor in the controller ... go higher and you need a new controller...
@@dg9bfcthis is a 6.5T motor windings 8.33 rpm / v whereas my other one is 6T more like 8.6 rpm / v but maybe you have a different winding, its usually at the end RM g062 1000 dc (6.5) etc
@@johnsheetz6639 this is a bafang RM.G062.1000.DC so its 1000w nominal made for 48V 30A or about 1500W peak, it can go 30+ mph, in this video I’ve got it on a 75V battery so it can go faster top speed , you can do a little bit more than 1500W briefly without issue, but that’s a good safe power level. It’ll go 40+mph on a decent 72V battery. Its a great all around ebike motor, in terms of torque per amp getting around. Can weld the clutch and do regen with it. And they are very easily serviceable with 7$ nylon gears in the event you goof around and break them like i do
@@EBikeBuilder_ if you want to add some better cooling not to cook the G62 .. add some ATF OIL to it (if I remember right it was 100ml the other youtuber used) and then seal it the oil splashing around inside will transport the heat from the coils to the outer case (and as side effect no regreasing of the gears needed and also the bearings are lubed well) that way you do not cook the coils even if you use 72v system and higher current controllers
@@dg9bfcNever put ATF in a geared hub motor. ATF can be used on a direct drive motor but for best results use Statorade from Grin Technologies on direct drive motors. EBikeBuilder drilled holes in motor for cooling so any ATF would fly out.
@@rufusirvin5279 why not?? (ok if he drilled holes it may fly out but if you have no holes the splashing around oil transports the heat out)... statorade only for direct drive
yes ,,yes ..pls love IT: GO GO 😁
Who needs a Suron😂❤
Great builds.😮

Yeah 1500W is the sweet spot for these motors it seems. I have burned up the 750w variants; gotta get the g62.1000w
I agree about the voltage , it goes quite fast on 52v (34mph ish) so if you are off road no need for high voltage.
@@EBikeBuilder_ 34?? then it's a 24 inch?? cause my seeker 26 does 38.6mph (with pumped up street tires)

I've been looking for a hub that would take that much power. What is there quote rating? I'm more of a fan of the geared once

@EBikeBuilder_ nice I've been having a problem because I'm a newbie finding a strong geared hub so I went mid.
