i have read in some places that the max recommended temp of a brushed motor is 150-160f (correct me if I'm wrong)
My electric bike has a 540 watt battery with a 500 watt motor and it gets to 147f when i rode it 3 miles. I thought this is a bit close to 150f so i was wondering if i could buy a 600watt motor to replace my 500watt one and my neighbor said that it might still overheat because 540watts is less than 600watts. It doesn't seem right by common sense but I'm a 9th grader so I can't be sure. So will a 600watt motor still overheat with 540watts going through it? (the battery and the motor are both 36v)
