How fast can a 1000W ebike go

Many major components are installed in your e-bike, but if you talk about the motor, a couple of components are directly associated with the motor system. Let me explain them to you one by one. There is one component, which is the battery, which is connected with the motor. We have the controller, which effectively regulates the total power going into and out of the motor. Lastly, we have the power motor, which generates the power, and we are able to drive an e-bike.

So, now, in this article, I’ll share my experience and explain all the benefits of having a much more powerful motor over the least powerful hub motor.

The most significant advantage of a 1000-watt motor e-bike:

I have riding experience with more than two different e-bike manufacturers e-bikes. Therefore, I want to share the advantages I felt while driving them below.

  • A more significant power motor, for example, 1000 watts, gives you a top high-speed driving experience.
  • That’s justifiable because 1000-watt e-bikes quickly achieve top speed with good pickup.
  • In my experience, a 250-watt motor on a flat surface will give you a speed of 15 miles per hour; on the other hand, if you talk about a 1000-watt motor, this motor will provide you a speed between 30 to 35 miles per hour, and of course, that’s a big difference.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • The above top speed is between 30 and 35 miles, depending on the rider’s weight.
  • Of course, on the flattish trail, 35 miles per hour is achievable on the rider’s lighter weight.

When I drove my cousin’s 750-watt Cyrusher Kommoda Step-through E-Bike:

  • This e-bike carries a weight of around 92 kilograms. If you talk about my weight, it’s around 80, and when I was driving this e-bike in full throttle mode on a flattish surface, I was getting a top speed of around 26 to 27 miles an hour.
  • I was curious to know what the top speed I could get was because I was getting 26 to 27 miles an hour with the help of throttle twist mode only. I think I was also ready with pedal assist mode on the second round of the test phase.
  • In this round, I was ready to perform pedaling frantically along with a throttle twist. After completing that round, I was surprised because the recorded top speed was around 30 miles an hour.

Does the design of an e-bike matter in achieving top speed? Don’t worry let’s find out

  • The design of the e-bike will command the top speed of any e-bike, the 750-watt Cyrusher Kommoda, which was my cousin’s e-bike. I don’t think this e-bike was designed to achieve speed.
  •  I know that you are wondering why it’s not built for speed. I told you before that the design of any e-bike will command its speed.
  • This Cyrusher Kommoda has built-in 4-inch fat tires and fat tires have high friction & high friction, which reduces the top speed of the horse. It will provide you with reasonable control and better traction.
  • This Cyrusher Kommoda e-bike has an upright riding position, which also causes air resistance, thus decreasing the speed. It is also heavily built and weighs around 92 kilograms.

However, all of these e-bikes should be fairly heavy because they also have massive batteries. A big 1000-watt motor requires a lot of power for its operation, so you need a bigger battery installed. Otherwise, you will have to compromise your range.

Also, if you want to put a bigger battery into the frame, you also need a bigger frame with a strong build-in construction, so all of these more powerful e-bikes are pretty heavy and do limit the top speed.

Below, I would like to share a video of a guy doing the speed test with his 1000-watt motor e-bike; feel free to watch it.

But Why should I get a 1000-watt motor-equipped e-bike?

This question must be in your mind: why should you invest your money in a 1000-watt motor? Let me explain it to you in the below points:

  • I always go for powerful e-bike motors because they make it easier for me to climb uphill.
  •  One of my friends who lives in the North Wales area, the roads are always up and down all the time. And on this type of condition, these powerful motors will be performing pretty well, and you don’t have to perform pedaling too much.
  • If you have a less powerful motor, like 250 watts, and the road conditions are up and down frequently, you have to perform with pedals. After reaching your destination, you will be in a sweaty and tired condition, and that is something that you won’t like.

So, if you talk about me, I always like to enjoy my ride and don’t want to compromise with it at any cost. So for me that’s a biggest advantage in going for a more powerful e-bike.

Also, don’t forget to follow the rules

  • To check the local rules & restrictions where you are living.
  • In the US, there are specific rules regarding what is allowed and what is not allowed.

So it’s very much down to you as an individual to be aware of these rules where you are and make sure that you are comfortable while dealing with them properly.

Essential tips & tricks to follow:

  • The e-bike makes uphill climbing more accessible and less tiring. Depending on my mood, I can push myself uphill and climb at 17 or 18 mph or go slower but with little effort.
  • E-bikes are heavy and can be scary on downhill rides if you don’t know how to break them. (Pump your front breaks in between, not your rear, and don’t hold.)
  • E-bikes are a definite investment, so I suggest renting one. Also, make sure your local e-bike shop knows how to maintain your e-bike.
  • Uphills affect the speed of your e-bike, but much less so than on a conventional bike, where you might come to a walking-speed crawl; I quickly pass conventional bikes huffing and puffing up a reasonable hill by my work in Seattle at a comfortable 12-15 mph and have done 25 mph powering up it when my knees were better.
  • I would not suggest getting highly powered e-bikes if you are generally unfamiliar with them. Always try a test drive from a local shop that sells e-bikes, or you can borrow e-bikes if they offer you by charging some dollars.
  • Please remember to pedal your e-bike if you are climbing uphill. This will help your motors avoid getting too much resistance or load. Too much load or resistance will degrade the life of your motor very quickly, and that’s what you don’t want.

I hope this article helped you obtain information about your queries and that I solved your problem. If not, please feel free to leave me your comment below, and I will try to help you fix or solve your issue. Thanks for your valuable time and trust. Please remember to visit ebikeleague again and return for any difficulties you face with your lovely electric bike.

WITH LOVE & AFFECTION,

KEEP THRIVING YOUR E-BIKE
