I have been reading up on electric bike motors, there are a few things regarding size and wire gauge that have me confused.
I have seen disassembly videos of around 300 watt electric bike motors with planetary gears, and I can't see how anyone can push through 300 watts through the wires without it overheating. The wire gauge seems to be around 16-20. There doesn't seem to be nearly enough wire length to offer sufficient resistance as well.
What am I missing here?
