Hi Everyone!
Im new to the EV build world, but I have some experience with motorcycles, electrical, and I can learn pretty quickly, so I'm hoping I can make this all work out.
I have a 1961 Honda Superhawk with a 305cc ICE in it right now. It hasn't run in a while, and I want to make it into my first project.
After searching forums and the web, and filling out various spreadsheets to figure out necessary motor/battery specs I've come up with a rough list of what I think might work, but I would love other's input as to whether this is something that could be done or not.
My main requirements for this is that it can reach a top speed of 55mph, and have a range of 90ish miles at an average speed of 40mph.
These are due to the fact that I work seasonally and that's the distance to the place I work and the average speed of the trip. All other trips would just be around town and whatnot.
I am thinking of an 8000w hub motor for this build, the QS 273 specifically. This should get me to around 65mph with the battery pack I'm imagining I think, and saves me the trouble of figuring out a mid mount motor with my limited fabrication skills.
For the batteries, Im thinking of using 18650s at 20s25p to get me 72v and somewhere around 80ah. The batteries are where I am most out of my element so input on better options or if this won't work etc. is welcome.
Thanks in advance for all the help!
