I've been looking into making an electric motorcycle for a while, and after coming across a few threads on various forums about the electric chinese grom clones (eGroms), I decided that buying and upgrading one might be my best option for now.
From what I can tell, they use these motors:

2kW isn't going to be enough for me, so greater cooling might be needed when I push the motor to 10kW or so. I was thinking statorade, but the motors have rims integrated into them, designed to have tubeless tires directly attached, so if Statorade ferrofluid is used the usual heat transfer path might not be there.
So I have a couple of questions:
1) Will the g-forces created by a 260mm hub motor spinning at a maximum 1200rpm even allow me to use statorade in the first place?
The statorade info page says this may not be possible without a ton of ferrofluid
2) Will the tires be damaged by a potential 100C rim due to heat passing through the magnets into the shell?
