The motor is mounted to the rear wheels, I am planning on taking off the rear trucks, and sawing it in half, or just removing the other side that is not the drive wheel. Then using a lathe or something grind down the drive wheel to about 2/3 the diameter it is now. That should lower my top speed and give me plenty of grunt. I need to take it all apart and see how it is set before I do anything. |
Yeah, gear it down ALOT... it's setup to do 9MPH on the skate board, which (due to gearing differences) would be insane on a standard bike sprocket.
