torque is great.......... I think the 4t might be a little more efficient at 40 mph but not sure till we see these motors in the simulator. If you want to run a lower voltage go with the 4t like Nep did.
It is the same OD diameter of a mxus or 9c motor of 243mm. I used a flange diameter of 233mm to calculate the spoke length using ebikes.ca calculator.
This is very interesting, I like stealth so if the Leaf 1500W is 243mm in diameter, yet the MXUS is slightly smaller, and has a wider stator 45mm with alum.
I havent looked.....yet...... but I think the Edge 1500 comes with alum, and the Leaf 1500W is steel. Correct me if I am wrong. But I will search, I remember SpinningMagnets mentioning something, but I will confirm and clear it up.
Edit - Okay then
Leaf 1500W Steel - https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=75247&p=1137915&hilit=leaf+steel#p1137915
Edge 1500W - Alum - https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=81757&p=1202268&hilit=Edge+Stator#p1202268
Leaf also weighs in at 7.18kg/15.81lbs or more accurately the entire wheel is 7.94kg
MXUS 3000W is wider and heavier obviously, but same diameter. 8kg steel stator (V1) with the V2+ adds 300g, so 8.3kg.
These motors are very close in size and weight, both have high power but the MXUS has more power, plus it sheds heat better.
Lets look at cost - I paid $300usd inc s/h from MXUS a couple years ago, yet the Leaf kit is $343usd + $152 s/h, while the motor alone is $215 + $125. While the MXUS 3kw was $300usd shipped a couple years ago, not sure what the prices are at now.
I would think either motor is a good choice, but perhaps the Leaf 1500W has higher efficiency then the MXUS.
I will now have to compare the new MXUS 5000W and compare it to the MXUS 3000W. May have to sell my 4T and go with a 6T as I am not doing 72V no more.
Neat write by teslanv - love it when everything is in one spot

265mm diameter to end of flange
250mm flange holes
68mm flange
150mm dropouts
Well fuckit I'm buying the 5kw motor.
