Hi,
I'm looking to convert an old Gas Gas 250 2 smoke to electric. I'm not sure what motors would be good to start looking at. I did think one of the QS hub motors for easy of conversion, but I'd not be able to play with gear ratios if I needed to.
What motors should I be looking at?
With trials riding its all about slow speed, technical riding. Response needs to be punchy, top speed need not be over 25/30mph. Range won't need to be much. I was thinking 48V 15/20 AH hobby lipo and have a couple of swappable packs.
Heat build up shouldn't be much of an issue, more time spent walking the sections than riding them.
Not my bike, but it look pretty much like this
