Hey Scott, these Callisto bikes are put together in Taiwan for Tres Terra (now Ultra Motors) who are out of business, and is the same company that put together the EV Global bikes. Yes, the hubs are German.
The hubs are "geared", hence the noise & are rated @ 235watts/24V. Yes, you can run them @ 36V. All the info is on the hub.
Put the chain guard back on, unless you don't mind brushing up against the chain & getting lube on your pants.
Hey Scott, any updates about how this bike is working out for you? Im considering buying one but I'm worried about the heat output of the motor since I live in arizona. Also, I can't seem to find any information about the range of the battery? Will it got 20miles on one charge? Thanks again, and great reviews!
hey jkrye18, ya these are metal brushed motors made to operate at 24v and are running on 36v....witch is perfectly safe as long as you keep it under 40amps...but if you run 48v you will burn up the motor. they do tend to run hot, but heinzmann was one of the creators of hub motors and has a great reputation for a relaible well built product, the batteries on the other hand are hewlette packard phylion 10ah cells with a nominal voltage of 3.7v they are stainless steel cells and are known
for having faulty BMS and poor discharge rates (10-15amps max discharge) for distance 20 miles is doable with pedaling (if the battery is performing as it should) fully charge voltage 41v x10ah = 410 watt hours of usable energy the average cycler can probably use 15-19 watts per mile, and a unfit biker will probably require 25-40 watts per mile. but these are all rough figures. hope i answered all your questions, and thanks for watching my review :)
