Electric tractor motors

[Dui ni shuo de dui]

In china they use these axles on their 3 wheelers to haul massive amounts of cargo.

They are geared down and have a differential. I suppose this could do the trick, one might be enough but maybe two would be best.

I can guarantee you that this driven axle won't last.
My former boss wrecked about 5 of those carrying medium loads.
The axle snaps every few weeks lol

That's weird.
Those are used all around China for the past decades, I've seen them carry some impressive amounts of stuff.

I'm not saying that they are indestructible of course, but if there were so bad then people would have probably stopped using them by now.
I guess different brands maybe.

Remember, ..the OP wants to haul 2 tons od water up a 20 deg hill..off road most likely.!
That would be a fair task to a small diesel tractor..
…but is not going to happen with an 1800W tuc tuc axle !

Hehe, I think you guys underestimate how much a chinese farmer can stuff in their tuk tuks. :wink: :lol:
1800W is just the first image I found, some much more powerful versions exist
If you feel like two motors isn't enough then just use ten of these and make a tank ! :wink:

But joke aside, if you feel like power won't be enough then you can go for a golf cart axle+motor. I can guarantee this will work for sure.
Last year I've been to a resort hotel in the mountains, they were using big golf carts to transport the tourists to their bungalows. Each golf cart could seat 10 ppl plus their luggages, and it was able to go to the top of the mountain with no effort, despite some very impressive steep inclines.
It was doing that all day long, 365 days a year.

It might be useful if you linked to some of those “ much more powerful “ motor/axle units .

Sure, since it is asked so "nicely", with no sarcasm at all :lol:



This one is rated for a 3 ton payload, according to the manufacturer.
I can't really link anything since it's taobao, it mostly doesn't work outside of china. But you can usually find the same stuff on aliexpress.
Still think it is such a ridiculous idea?

Maybe something like this with a higher power/torque motor and that 57:1 reduction,.. could work !

Yeah, too bad you didn't post a link back then.
"It might have been useful", as some philosopher once said to me. :wink: :lol:

BAhahahahhahahahahahahahahah ahahhahahaha hahahahaha AHAHAHahaha ABAHABAHAaHBHbAhbahabahabahahahah.

Good one. That does look like a very strong axle.

Go hydraulic: hook the electric BLDC motor to the hydraulic pump and have 2 hydraulic motors to the axles to get four wheel drive.
