I'm looking at an e-bike kit and I have some questions. In the kit I'm considering, the rear hub wheel offered is used with either a 36v(750w) or a 48v(1000w) battery pack. Since The 48v 1000w appeals to me for the slight performance increase(20mph at 36v vs. 26mph at 48v), how can a motor be used at two voltages? Wouldn't putting 48v into a 36v motor cause it to run hot and shorten it's life significantly?
Next question concerns the battery pack. Which is better for longer range and higher torque for climbing the occasional fairly steep but short hill? Choices are, LiFeP04 36v 9.5ah, LiFeP04 36v 10ah prismatic, or a LiFep04 48v 9.5ah. Just what is "prismatic" all about?
