he’s saying 190KV motors aren’t rated for 14S; you’re running 8s, you’ll be fine

this esc is meant for 16S. Perfect you can start on 2x 8S parallel then switch to 16S when you get the right motors.

I am planning on whipping up an AWD Ebike, as those are the only motors I have now that would survive.
With a BMS and a charger

This is probably a stupid question but would i be able to charge the 16s battery with my 8s charger? like charge one at a time.

If this guy is pretty new to Esk8 it probably isn’t the best place to start looking at 16s batteries etc. That’s unnecessary for 90% of experienced people!

It’s technically possible but comes with such a large fire risk that it’s not recommended
A BMS and a charger are cheap.
There isn’t anything wrong with 8S though, it will work just fine. Using this ESC is kind-of like buying a Lamborghini for a 15mph (24km/h) stroll though.

Exactly, and there is nothing wrong with that, @Neenong you just have larger safety margins than required. Which is great!

Exactly, you made a good choice. Nothing to worry about, you just have potential room to expand in the future

6-8-10s to 16s is the new 10S to 12S jump apparently
