I'm currently collecting parts and building a warrior trike to make my one electric tadpole trike
and I'm trying to decide which hub motor to go with.
It will be ran on a 60v 20ah(20s2p) headway pack and probably a 12 or 18 FET controller total weight including rider and E-parts should be under 270lbs.
I'm not exactly sure what speed I will be comfortable going with the trike but I at least
want to be able to cruise at 30mph and sustain that up hills so that I can keep up with local traffic
If I'm comfortable going that fast sustained 40mph on flats would be nice but not mandatory(I'd like the option)
(also from running #'s on a simulator if the motor is powerful enough to do that I'll have the option of mounting it a
mountain bike and running it at 25-30mph without fear of overheating)
now I have to do some more reading on headway's but I'm thinking I'll want to limit the battery to
40amp cont or 2c so as not to overly stress the cells. Does that sound right?
How much ground clearance is recommended for a tadpole trike?
I would possibly have to modify the trike for more clearance to use 17in moped rims...
So hopefully that gives you a bit of a criteria so you can help me better.
So here's what I've been considering let me know what you think of them and if you have others
you think would fit my need better:
My first choice is a MXUS V2 3000 3T in a 17 or 19in moped wheel. $500ish
This seems to fit my needs quite well though it a little more than I'd like to spend but it would work.
Leaf 1500 hub motor in bicycle rim $250ish
I don't know as much about these but it looks like it could be an option and I'm hearing great things on them,
the price is good, I'm just wondering if I'll ending up wanting more power later on.
And just last night I went through and read the whole thread(minus all the graph don't know what they mean yet)
on QS motor's particularly the QS 3000W 205 50H V3 at around $400 with a moto rim from them, This looks to be a real beast with all the power potential
I'll ever need but I'm wondering if its way more than I need? or want and will draw to many amps for my system?
I don't know as much about the last two and since they aren't on the Ebikeca simulator I'm not sure how they would perform for me...
So any comment and criticism's is welcome if you need more info about something in my build I can try
and answer any questions to help you give an accurate answer.
Thanks in advance,
Joseph
