That is a very light rider and think both versions should give you allot of punch off the line and allot of fun. If I needed to choose for myself I would like the HT version as I dont really need to go top end speed.
HS of course. The C30 Motor is much more efficient. You are not forced to use the max speed :-) but you always have reserves. Even with my weight of 100+ kg you are never near the 5 beep warning, even when the battery is down to 10 % and outside temperature is below zero you will most likely never experience a fatal voltage sag. On the other hand the C30 always delivers more than enough torque. Only advantage of the C38 (HT) over the C30 occurs at outside temperatures of maybe 40° C and very steep and long inclines ... the C30 gets warmer inside and you might run into a temperature warning some minutes earlier. I tested both for some 500 km and stuck with the C30. Love it. Aaand regen is much better which doubles the efficiency.
I recorded the same trip on both wheels: starting at 100 % battery each EUC world app showed 54 % at the highest elevation point after 16 km on the HS and 49 % on the HT at more or less same temperature but slightly higher average speed with HS. Back down regen pumped the HS' battery back to 85 % ant the HT's back to 78 %.
So if you plan riding in hot summer in the Alps you might be better off with the HT and for the rest the HS is my favourite.
There is a video on YT by Ray Rokni ... link not at hand, sr ..., where he tested both wheels at Marty Backe's overheat hill. I can't remember his findings right now but it may be worth looking for this clip.
oh one more ... if you love brutal accellerating and braking the HT might be the better option. I did not note a mesurable difference tho. Clocked 10.000 + km on my HS these days
Some great information old Trapper and some things to think about and consider but I am leaning towards the HS as it still has plenty of torque for my riding weight.👍
There is another thought I came across the other day. It is theoretical and I did not evaluate that in my test and you will have to make your own calculation and conclusion:
The battery packs of both wheels from my batch are made from LG 21700 cells which are rated with max current draw of 7 amps each. Since the wheel is basically a 4p powered one, the batteries are good for 28 amps. The motors are both rated 2,500 W. At full battery (100 V) the motors may draw 25 amps according to their rating and 32 amps at 80 V when battery is very low. This meets more or less the specs, but if you push the wheel hard, the motors will deliver more than 5,000 W and batteries will operate beyond their stated limits.
If you are concerned about batteries, battery life and related security questions, it is advisable to get yourself informed about battery drain of HT vs HS and calculate the current draw according to your driving habits. I myself am no fear mongerer and not concerned about this topic.
