Where is the hp/torque measured?
« on: May 01, 2017, 04:31:18 AM »

Does anyone know whether the power specs are measured from the motor or from the rear wheel?  For example, the 2017 SR has a bigger controller, but also a change in gearing.  Has anyone dyno'd straight from the motor, just out of curiosity?

Torque and horsepower listed in the specs are for the motor. To get torque at the rear axel you multiply by gear ratio.

2016 SR = 106lb-ft * (130/30) = 459 lb-ft
2017 SR = 116lb-ft * (90/20) = 522 lb-ft
