First post here, but I've been lurking for the past two weeks brushing up on build threads. I'm planning a build and am just beginning to start spec'ing components. I was hoping to find some kind of rough EMotor:ICE functional equivalency guidelines, but so far, no luck. Do any veterans here know where I might find such information?
Barring that, does anyone have advice for how to approach spec'ing an EMotor to roughly match a particular ICE? I know that power isn't everything, and I get the sense that if I matched peak power of the EMotor to the original ICE, I'd have a wildly overpowered feeling motorcycle on account of how power and torque are delivered.
More specifically, I'm on the hunt for a suitable powerplant for a '57 Enfield Bullet 350. I'm hoping to do the original bike justice, so I'd like to have it feel the same or better than it did in its heyday. Am I right in thinking a ~4kw (edit: *continuous power) motor would be in the right ballpark?
Really appreciate the help. I'll be sure to start a build thread as soon as I have some pictures worth taking.
