Does anyone know a good motor, i was thinking a brushless, but a certain brand -> model.

oooorr....


Recommended specs.

I would like to be cruising at a maximum of around 20-25.
Also the price the motor you recommend would be tight, otherwise ill just google it.

And, if i can ask a sub-question.
:cool:
What are some mounting techniques, rack or frame, that wont require welding?
(pics if you can, please)


Thanks much for any help.

Next time you go from point A to B.. reset the odometer in the car.

For short commutes and good roads you could do a Folding Bike ! go with the light-weight minimalist aproach. a 350w cyclone setup on a folder would be decent.

This kit will take some tinkering to put together, the brackets can be a pain to get just right so the chain don't skip .. or so i'm told.. should get a 500w and a 1000w shortly to test and i can tell you more then.. but it's a proven setup that many people swear by.

If you don't have many tools and are not too handy... stick with a hub motor !
 
cool, im glad im handy.

For about 90$ i bought a 500W brushless, a good controller, throttle, brackets, bolts, and another gear, and a chain and sproket. so im pretty much set
