How fast can a 60V 600W motor go?
3 Answers
A 60V 800W motor has a maximum speed of 40 km/h, which is a speed limit set by the manufacturer to ensure battery life. Generally, electric vehicles with 60V 800W motors are limited to speeds between 35 km/h and 40 km/h, while 72V electric vehicles are limited to speeds below 40 km/h. Removing the voltage limit of the regulator: If you want to go faster, you can remove the voltage limit of the regulator and increase the current to raise the motor's speed. After removing the speed limit, the maximum speed can reach around 50 km/h. Factors affecting the motor: For example, temperature, road conditions, and load can all affect the range of an electric vehicle, but generally, the difference is not particularly significant. Finally, there are a few points to remind users: developing good usage habits can help extend the service life of the electric vehicle. For instance, reasonably controlling the charging time—usually around 8 hours—helps protect the battery from damage.
When discussing how fast a 60V 600W motor can go, we need to approach it from a technical perspective. Motors with this power rating are typically used in electric bicycles or scooters, and actual speed is influenced by multiple factors. Voltage only represents current intensity, while power determines output force. A 60V 600W setup is considered mid-range, with peak speeds likely between 25-35 km/h, but don't expect to maintain this consistently. Vehicle weight is crucial - carrying an extra passenger can reduce speed by several km/h. Tire size also matters significantly; wider tires offer better shock absorption but consume more power, naturally resulting in lower speeds. The controller settings can adjust speed too, with overly aggressive settings potentially burning out the motor. Road conditions have a major impact - flat surfaces provide the most stable speed, while climbing hills can reduce speed by at least 5 km/h. As batteries age, power weakens, making it harder to maintain top speeds. Overall, this motor is sufficient for daily commuting, but don't expect racing speeds. Safety comes first, and we recommend using GPS to measure real-world performance.
I've ridden on the street a few times with a 60V 600W motor, and the speed feels decent but not fast. On flat straight roads, accelerating to around 30 km/h is quite effortless, but when turning or facing wind, it drops below 25. With some luggage, the speed decreases further, staying just above 20. This power level is suitable for lightweight e-bikes and works fine for commuting, but don't compare it to cars. As the motor ages, it will slow down even more. Once, riding on a rainy day, the battery drained quickly, and I couldn't reach 25 km/h the entire trip. Overall, the speed is steady and easy to control, making it beginner-friendly, but avoid overloading too much—maintaining a safe pace is enough. The riding experience depends on personal weight and road conditions, so it's best to try it yourself to understand.
