Well I became that person I hate the most on forums - A ghoster. I really apologize to anyone who was following this project or the QS1000 with any sort of interest. I got busy for a bit last year, put the project away and then had to move and then this whole thing became "out of site, out of...

Sorry, I have been distracted by other stuff recently. The motor came in the mail in less than a week! Really fast shipping. I haven't even had the opportunity to put in on a test bench though. I'm hoping testing will happen next week and then a tear down. Fabbing a swingarm is looking more...

I was not able to spec anything out. No sprocket or pulley customization, no custom shaft, or kV. It may come with an 8mm pitch pulley on it according to other ES threads. I was told the maximum RPM was 3,450 at 72V. It sound like more customization may be allowed with the 2000W or 3000W...

Just a quick but exciting update! I was able to contact QS Motors directly. They sold me the QS 1000W Mid Drive for $125 + $86.70 for shipping +$10.06 PayPal fees = $221.76! Not too bad I'd say. The invoice says they add 4.4% + 0.3 for paying through PayPal which is higher than PayPal's actual...

Thanks for the reaffirmation here. I'd be so stoked to get this motor for right around $200 but that seems next to unbelievable.

I cancelled by QS motor from Aliexpress sine I think I may be able to get the motor cheaper straight through http://www.cnqsmotor.com/en/ I sent an email to http://www.qs-motor.com/ and got a quote for $120 for the motor + $85 shipping before learning that :warn: THIS IS NOT QS MOTOR'S...

Thanks for the link to QS's sale page. You're absolutely right about shipping...I have clearly been spoiled for too long with "free" on everything from China. $270 for this motor is great. Had I seen $275 with free shipping when I first stumbled upon it, I would have jumped on it right away...

I found the QS 1000W mid drive motors on aliexpress for only $118!!!.....with $152.63 shipping. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/QSMOTOR-1000W-BLDC-Mid-drive-Motor-Assembly-Conversion-Kits-For-Electric-Scooter/109978_32863485055.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.8.4b8a2df3VVkbRP I...

That is nuts! The QS 1000 is moving towards the top of my list. The issue here is that the transmission is the swingarm which is typical for scooters and mopeds. I'll start sketching up a swingarm in Fusion360 to see if its something I would feel would e easy enough to make. That hubzilla...

Thanks! Would something like a C80100 be enough for something like this? I want this to be more responsive and fun than the original scooter and don't want to skimp on something like this. "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing" I have found a single hub motor with a 14" wheel size...

Thanks for the kind words! Those motors look amazing but I only see the 1000/2000W variants in swingarm assemblies and the 3000W in a kit with controller with $200 shipping from China!?!? THe new "-E" variants of motors have better data provided but yeah, you're right, I should look for...

Thank you both for the reply! I'll certainly expand my horizons. I used a RV-120-Pro for my go kart and, without being able to compare it to other motors, the thing just feels so powerful. The RV-100 does use thinner lamination than the 120 which I thought would help but in talking with Alexey...

Hi Everybody! Long time lurker here so first, thank you to every contributor to this site. It helped me tremendously with my first build: a cooler go kart which I am currently writing up the build thread for - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XJTyHLPJzo This project sort of fell into my lap. I...
