Hi Folks,
I’m planning to convert my Tracksled, basically an old snowmobile rear suspension (track/skid) with a predator 6.5 hp engine, to an electric sled. This vehicle is used to haul equipment (i.e., sled, wheel barrel) on trails’ year around but I mostly use this vehicle during winter to groom fat biking trails. The Tracksled weigh about 250 pounds and supposed to haul around 300 pounds or so. The vehicle's maximum speed is 15 mph. We usually use this vehicle to groom singletrack trails at a slow speed. So, I’m interested more in range than speed.
After searching around the forum, I was wondering if a 72V DC 3000W 45A motor with 50A controller should be enough. I'm thinking of three batteries in series ( 3x 24V ), probably something like some 2500mah 20A cells in a 7S3P setup.
This is my plan so far. Would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks,
Javier
