First Test of 1000W Black Lightning 40 MPH Brushless Geared Hub Motor from Hi-Power Cycles

This is the first test of our 1000W BLACK LIGHTNING brushless, geared hub motor. THIS BIKE AS ALL OF OUR BIKES THAT GO OVER 20MPH can only be legally used OFF ROAD!!!! The lucky guy testing this motor is Jake Carter from San Luis Rides located in San Luis Obispo, CA. This motor is unbelievable- It has the power to lift the front wheels of the ground and also hit 40MPH on just 48V! This is our most powerful motor, and since it is internally geared, it still comes in at only 9 lbs! The motor will fit up to a 9 speed freewheel and also disc brakes. This is the Ultimate Electric Bike motor!

@hypnos315 Keep it under 25mph (30mph in California) and 20mph in some states in the USA and you won't get busted. Hard to prove you are over the watt limit, in OR it's 1000 watts, but most motors will peak much higher. On the other hand, they can bust you for anything they feel like, so guess it don't matter what we do, let's do it anyways and have some fun while we can!

I see you have the new invisible helmet.

@ianman20011 again you can make a 250watt motor run at over 50mph if overvolted. Probably wont last long but and it has to be free of a speed limiter of course.

[FullFledged2010]

@ianman20011 Its not about the watts but the volts. It could do well over 50mph if it had 72v

Looking very ugly....wires from Brakes are to long and everywhere you are look, there a wires.....Bad Quality......I think its a cheap E-Bike........

@reddragon9918 because i have a 1000w and it does not do 40mph, and at say 30mph a motor would use a shitload more energy to add the same amount of speed as at 20mph due to the fact that at those speeds it is using more energy to combat air resistance than anything else. doubling the wattage does not equal double speed. i would assume you would need at least 1500watts to come close to 40

[reddragon9918]

@ianman20011 why not? I have a 500w that goes 20mph...

[ianman20011]

@reddragon9918 ok but i still know that 1000w will not do 40mph that's just silly

[reddragon9918]

@ianman20011 they set it @ 5600w please read the descriptions of videos before commenting!

[ianman20011]

explain how 1000w 1.3hp goes 40mph while 8000w goes 50
