    2000 watts = 2.5 horsepower. The Torque is what makes induction motors fun. It’s not going to be the fastest mini bike ever but it’ll get to top speed really fast.

    Alright these kind of motors is what I do so I have some infos for you! In one of my projects I use 4 of these motors with a own Self-Build Set to get to 87kmh! (55,5mph)
    You currently have a size 10small Gear and a size 54 big Gear makes for a Gear ratio of 5.4
    Then you do have arround 4000rpm with these kind of motors(assuming you go 60V?)
    You have 13 inch tires which is arround 330mm.
    Then we take the 4000rpm divided by the 5.4
    That means you have arround 740rpm on the wheels.
    Then taking the diameter(in km) times pi
    0.00033 x = 0.0010365
    Then taking that value by 740 and after that by the 60minutes gets you to a theoretical top speed of
    46km/h..!(29mph) That should be fine for the motor as long as it doesnt get heavier..! If you want to do more with these motors I can send you a set where you can attach them
    to any kart frame!

    • @Voltaic
      @Voltaic Před 3 lety +5

    Been building electric motorcycles for ten years.. Save mass by using a hub motor, that one will need a chain dragging down efficiency. Also 2000 w is small for off road 10kw is where you need to be. Batteries go where the engine would go. (72v min) motor goes inside the rear hub, gas tank is where you put controller and electronics.

    I've used that motor before on a moped - geared it to go about 40. You might be a little disappointed with the power. You can pump more power into it with a bigger motor controller as long as you don't overheat it. Can also look into a "shunt mod" to get some more amperage put of the controller you have.

    I bought a 3000w controller (48v) for it which is about 60amps constant and peaks at 80amps, which is about 4000w. id recommend something similar if you want more acceleration.
    You get more top speed by increasing the voltage and more acceleration by increasing the amps
