Pardon my ignorance...
Is there any sort of gear reduction between the driveshaft and the rear wheel? If so, what kind of ratio?
On my chain-driven electric motorcycle, I am using a 6:1 gear ratio to keep the motor from working too hard. (It's a 48V system.)
A friend of mine has a drive-shaft cycle that he has been playing around with as an electric conversion, but he's been having issues with pulling too many amps.
I would imagine that higher voltage would help with all of that, but I was just wondering what the "gearing" difference is between a chain/belt drive and a driveshaft.
