You Guy's gott'a remember ,,
More performance, plus capacity / ''run time'',, = more weight & money, when doing an elect. project,, still even after all these years..
I do ''not'' see that config. changing anytime soon, with even the latest brushless set ups & Li power ect.
You want something Elect. that is powerful as Hell, , it's ''still'' going to have some ''heft'' to it,, & cost some pretty good bread also.
There is a balance between lower power set ups, & the ''Shit&git'' ones.
That's why I did my set ups ''so far'' with 48v.
They are ''very'' economical in price, keep the weight down,, & still perform very well.
Just gott'a config the gearing right, with the weight of the rider/driver ect., & where you are going to be running it,, ect. ect.
