Not strictly speaking true if the motor is doing double-duty as a dynamo for regen braking.
If we set aside the foot-warming capabilities of the original poster and just assume, with all due respect, ignorance of the subject surely it should be our task to educate
The crucial thing to consider is that electric motors and ICEs only have one thing in common: rotational power to drive a wheel. How they go about it is absolutely nothing alike.
An electric motorbike that has a 10kW motor could give you 10kW at 1, 1000, 10000, whatever rpm you want. There's no torque curve, it's a flat line. What need gearing? Having taken the engine out of my DT I can tell you the gearbox is one of the heaviest components of the bike. If you could do without it you would! ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
