Could be either motor really? Looks like they have good idle current too, good for an ebike for sure... now if someone could throw that in a hub with a planetary gear drive, you are flyin!

Metallover, okay thanks for the info, but how fast are you cruising at when you get 40Wh/mile?

This is for my brother, who says he doesn't need to go that fast, 40km/h (25mph) is fast enough, which I think is the top speed of the Nine Continents kit at ~36V, no?

I asked Cell_man at Endless-Sphere about the 15Ah cells, so a 12s pack should be 550Wh and at ~16Wh/mile that I am seeing kit suppliers say a bike will do at 35-40km/h, should be a good 30+ miles range. The large pismatic A123's are a good price of $2.5/Ah, or $38/15Ah cell,

Have you ever tested at various speeds and recorded the Wh/mile, say, in 5 km increments?
