For the benefit of the completely clueless or dodgy internet 'researchers', I hope you can tolerate my fussiness quirks! ![]()

Don't worry Ruffy, I have had no idea what any of you have been saying for quite some time. You could all be speaking some obscure Klingon dialect!

Torque is the force that you feel when accelerating. Power bands are really about the spread and change of torque over the rev range. Yes, with electric motor/drives, you can generally have a much wider spread of useable torque than most ICEs. And same torque at higher revs should equal more power by definition - physics innit! ![]()

I was talking about electric motorcycles. Maybe that explains the misunderstanding
I don't really need or want tyre shredding torque when pulling away. In fact demand for torque is probably highest at high speed as wind drag increases ![]() ![]() |

thats the thing with leccy motors you can program the drive electronics to make them behave how you like depending on the physical capabilities of the motor. one of the great things about leccy motors is it will always be in the right gear as it has none and you can have masses of engine braking aided with regular brakes to give eye popping stopping power.
i'll never be able to afford one but i will be going for a test ride on one (if i can get on it). |
