emmgee said:My favorite parts in this incredible vehicle: The four in-wheel motors.
Each motor delivers 37kW/50HP peak, but weighs only 3.4kg. Connected to a planetary 'gearbox' which takes the forces from the suspension.
Excellent electromagnetic design and highest quality components (ultra-thin high-Si-iron, Ti-axis) allows this good efficiency and extreme power density.
A pity that it's not planned to be produced for sales.
The new record was set by students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, [Switzerland]
The carbon fibre construction has a total weight of 168 kg (370.4-lbs) and produces about 200 hp. A four-wheel drive is implemented with four specially designed wheel hub motors, which generate a total torque of 1630 Nm at the wheels. By means of traction control, torque distribution is controlled individually for each wheel to maximise vehicle acceleration. No other production vehicle in the world has reached a similarly strong acceleration

....really ? ..you are missing out on so much useful info...why ?doctorGONZO said:Me, and others, don't do youtube for one reason or another. I expect that a ordinary photo of your creation would be of great interest.
I could not confirm, would you have some reference ?Hillhater said:EV drag cars (full size, some even street able ) are passing the 100kph mark in 1.4 -1.5 secs , before the 60 ' mark.
this kart is not dutchHillhater said:PS;- those links were to the Dutch hub drive 0-100kmhr kart .
unfortunatly, speed in not the matter here.Hillhater said:Official records are nice Trophys , but it's much more satisfying to know who is the actual fastest !
Possibly, but remember..The Toecutter said:That motor might be perfect for my ..
