I've searched for a bit and didn't find anything about this.
I'm considering building a 3 wheeled pedal/electric rv and I want to put a hub motor in both front wheels. The top speed will only need to be 20 mph for these but they'll need to have really tough axles and have the ability to pull 800 lbs up a 50% grade. The wheels will be 18" 36 hole motorcycle rims with MEFO MFE99 130/90-18 tires. Is there anything out there that will do this or am I into custom territory here?
I'll post the build in a new thread if I decide this is something I can do so it would be good from an efficiency standpoint if we can limit discussion in this thread to hub motors. :wink:
