Does anyone have already made a build with one of the 15kw or 20kw hub motors and can say something about their peak power and acceleration of the build?
At the moment I'm hitting my 5kw QS260 motor with 20kw and 600A phase current. It is doing pretty well. But acceleration could still be better. My scooter weights 183kg without me and 270kg with me. With 27kw I got in 7 seconds to 80km/h and in 9.5 to 100km/h, but the motor got really hot, i think that was to much for the motor.
In near future I want to build a motorcycle and would like to go for a hub motor. But I'm not shure if they really can be fast enough, even if they claim 15kw or 20kw continous for the newer motors and up to 40kw peak.
Or should I wait until they make axial flux hub motors with a better power to weight ratio and better efficiency than the actual radial motors?
