c5 left wheel rpm

[Jonny]

hi, does anyone know the rpm of the left wheel (motor side) when the motor is running under no strain?

thanks

I just worked it out at 16" @ 15mph = 78.782 rpm .  Im knackered , so I may have worked it out wrong. Will double check later. Can I ask... Why  Other c5's will be different to one an other due to motor condition though. reet, am off ta bed.

thanks! i knew there was a way to calculate it but couldn't remember

why i want to know:

well, i live in quite a hilly area and seeing as i have 4, bosch 400w motors lying around i'm currently playing around with the idea of making a high torque c5 with the same speed as the original c5. using a metal gearbox and metal drive cog. also incorporating disk brakes, reinforced chassis (tempted to use some of my 5mm HARDOX 450  ) , and use a 4qd to control the motor (maybe a relay if i'm too poor as i have one lying around and i can get them for about 30p  ). anyway i needed to know so i can work out what ratio to make the gearbox and timing belt.

tired now so i'm off to bed

250W is the maximum legally allowed for use with the C5.400w renders it illegal for road use. I live in a hilly area and use the 375 watts or so of leg power  to assst the motor in going up hills.

I use my 2ltr engine in my car to do the hills lol

just an idea at the moment
