Oh my god! That sounds amazing to me. It is a 365 watt engine, and I'm not sure if it will be enough (I'm a big dude)
Anyways. I was thinking, I'll use the sprocket I have leftover from my 49cc 2 stroke (it's 44 tooth) and weld on a sprocket to the motor. What size sprocket would I need if I'm planning the max speed for about 40km/h? This is a washing machine motor after all, and I'm not sure if it runs a lot of RPM's. It had a belt drive before.
And, that 2 hours is with the 2 batteries? I'll probably get one more of the same battery.
Is there any other way to squeeze a bit more power out? Can't rewire it, since it is closed with screws, that have no hole cut into them, so more like a nail. The magnets are kinda rusty on the outside too. And black (Not the powerful magnets really) I tried attaching a neodymium magnet (20 kg lift) on the outside on the magnet. Made no difference at all.
EDIT: This is an induction motor.
EDIT 2: Just realized that those 2 hours are the total, since both are powering it at the same time.
