Just changed out a hub, bearing and races that was wobbling on me. Vmax is now 31 MPH!

With 19.5" tires, you are spinning the motor at 6,648 RPM at 31 MPH.

What do you think the safe upper RPM limit would be on the stock motor?

My stock PDS motor was spinning over 7600 RPM when the armature exploded, but it didn't fail until I lifted my foot and the regen braking kicked in, so there was more to it than just RPM. The amount of regen brake current generated is determined by pack voltage as well as motor RPM, so your 48V set up won't generate as much Regen current as my 42V set-up and will probably tolerate a higher RPM before failing.

Of course, it also depends on the condition of the bearings and how well the armature is balanced, and I'd try to stay below 7k. (32.7MPH on 19.5" tires)

The max recommended RPM on my D&D motor is 6.5k, but I go over that occasionally.

I'm installing a tachometer driven off the speed sensor and setting the shift light at 6,500 so it will flash at me when I go over that RPM.
That will also tell me how fast I am going when I don't have a GPS with me.
If a speedometer is installed, the opposite can be done using a table that shows RPM vs MPH instead of MPH vs RPM.

More than 50% of the time when the motor goes out from over revving it takes the controller out with it. 30 mph is too fast for a stock motor. In my opinion you are asking for trouble.

I yield to the voice of experience.

However, 30 MPH on stock height tires (Carlisle Links = 17.4") is 7200RPM.
