If Luke and I managed to put over 15hp through this hub motor all sealed up nice and tight.
Just image how much power this other motor below can do in a ventilated form outside of the wheel. Look at that copper fill...and it's got hall sensors already. I figure 25-30hp easy, and a low enough Kv to go with a relatively small ratio reduction to the wheel.
It's already rigged for delta/wye via a mechanical switching mechanism shown here, though I'm going to do away with that and take the wiring outside.
Look at these fine laminations, a good 1/3 thinner than the other motor.
The magnets are thicker, stronger and longer too.

It comes in at 22lbs, but a lot of that cast iron has to go.
