I'm converting a snowmobile to electric power. My first attempt is underpowered. I need a more powerful motor & controller, and I'm a bit overwhelmed at finding a good option.
I have a description of what I'm looking for on my build thread in motor+controller:
What should I be looking at?
I have a description of what I'm looking for on my build thread in motor+controller:
- Cost: less than $1500 (to keep conversion cost palatable)
- Readily available in US (I don't want to wait months for AliExpress shipping from China)
- Voltage: 14S lithium (42-58.8V)
- Torque: at least 40 N•m
- Power: 8-10 kW
- RPM: at least 5000 RPM max
- Weight: doesn't matter much (more weight on the skis would help!)
- Not a Golden Motor controller (their starting torque and throttle response seem crummy and their software is awful)
What should I be looking at?
