Thatâs with 6" tires.
10S battery on 58KV motors with 110mm wheels will give you a loaded top speed of 40-43 Km/h or 24-26ish mi/h.
*edit
To be honest, I have the 72KV version on 11S battery with 100mm wheels. My board is capable of doing more than 30mi/h but I rarely exceed 26mi/h. I miss the torque though. Maybe 58KV with 110mm wheels is a good place to be. @DavidF
Think of it like a car engine. Assume an engine can only output so many rpms. You can either gear it down so final output is a lower speed but you get a lot more torque or gear up so you have a higher final speed but less torque.
The gearing in this case is the windings of the motor which will affect the KV of the motor. Generally speaking, for the same size stator and winding configuration, lower KV usually means more torque
Damn, the more I learn, the more Iâm lost.
So for decent toque and Speed with a 10S I should go for the 85KV + 110mm wheels?
What would be 10S + 72KV + 97mm wheels? Sounds oretty similar, non?
What is decent speed by your standards? 30mph is pretty damn fast. I can tell you a spill at that speeds, youâll skitter across the ground before rolling to a stop
If you are unsure about speed vs torque in relationship to wheel size, I would recommend going with a belt drive first. That ways, you can play with wheel size and speed/gearing by changing your pulley setup.
That said, I think people tend to lean towards torque instead of speed. With torque, you can give the illusion of speed with sudden acceleration. You can also climb hills pretty decently (a factor determined more of less by torque) at speed.
Once you have that figured out, you should have a good idea of what speed/wheel size youâll want to then make a decision on DD drives.
What type of board do you ride? I feel with longboards around the 40" area, people tend to like to go with bigger AT wheels and small boards around the 30" go with thane wheels around 100mm
I wasnât sure about this either at one point. I really liked my ABEC 97s, but the hype about the 110s from @b264 was too much to ignore. They turned out to be the ideal wheel for my eLofty drives. So, so good.
For all the members in this group buy, I can give you a refund for this group buy. Or if you still want the direct drives, you can join the new group buy and you will be bumped to the top of the signup list.
