Further detail for those interested:

see these attachments:
PDF Drivetrain Acceleration 2013-09-25 RevC

Derivation of Voltage Drop Model rev E

C source Drivetrain Acceleration 2013-09-24_2231

See attached chart of accel vs speed for one set of model parameters, using data generated with attachment ready-to-run model 2013-12-18

You can change the parameters to whatever you think is appropriate for your drivetrain and run the model to see how they affect the performance.
