Hey folks, I’ve been out of the scene for a bit and I’m trying to decide the best motor/voltage for a new build. I’d rather err on the lighter side vs. heavy power side, or at least keep it somewhat efficient. I do see some hills on occasion out here in Portland. Thanks in advance for your opinion!
Goals:
Custom built Top-Tank Moped (Think Puch Magnum) - no trails, all street/commute
17” Moped/Motorcycle wheel with street tires
Target Weight <125lbs (Really would love to be <100)
Top Speed about 45MPH Flat with enough torque to get there fast
Target Range 30 miles conservative, less when having fun.
Parts I already have:
Adappto Mini-E, LYEN INFINION 18, LYEN INFINION 12, LYEN INFINION 6, GRIN 35A CONTROLLER
M3540 Crystalyte, MXUS 4T
My gut feeling is that the 3T MXUS would be a better choice for this wheel size, similarly the M3540 winding might not be ideal, but if I crank the voltage it might get there. A Crown or QS product might be a more ideal stator width for lower voltage? I’m tempted to try the dual MAC motor geared set-up if they can be laced to 17” Moto Wheels…
