I just bought a gas moped (49cc) and plan to convert it to electric with your electric motorcycle kit<\/a>. It looks like I’ll need at least 1500W rear hub motor<\/a>, although I’m willing to go higher if needed (2000W?). Someone on a forum indicated that you do custom windings and I should reach out to you, but I’m not an engineer and can only describe how I’ll use the moped – I can’t offer what specs are best, or if this is within what you can offer.<\/p>\n

I would prefer a solid wheel (no spokes) but on your site those only go to 1000W?<\/p>\n

The original moped rear wheel is 17″ with a M62 3-17 tire. I haven’t removed the tire to get the exact fork distance, but I think it is around 175mm<\/p>\n

I don’t need a high top speed, 20 mph maximum and mostly I will be in the 0-10 mph range. However, it will be constantly going up and down hills, including several hundred feet of about 15 degree incline. So, I need good low-speed torque.<\/p>\n

I weigh about 200 lbs, and the moped (and the tools I’ll be carrying) adds another 100-150 lbs.<\/p>\n

This will never be used on public roadways, only on my farm. I live in the USA.<\/p>\n

I haven’t started looking at controllers or batteries yet. \u00a0My first step is to identify the best hub motor option, then I can worry about the rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’d prefer a 17 inch casted electric motorcycle hub motor if I can get one with enough power \/ torque at low speed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
