Howdy,
I'm really interested in the Puma motor, from all the reports folks have given on it, seems like quite a little hummer. I'm a bit uncertain of a couple of things though, and was hoping someone could straighten me out.
About a year ago or so, I was looking at the BMC brushless motor, thinking that it was a pretty cool motor for what I wanted to do, and then the gang began to do a lot of reporting on it that gave the impression this motor was the real deal. I didn't follow the threads for awhile, but now I see folks are talking about the "Puma" motor,,, is this the same motor, just has a different name now? Or did BMC come up with a new and improved version of the original BMC motor?
The original , as I recall, was listed as a 36 volt, 400 watt motor, when using the 15 - 20 amp controller that came with it. The guys at EV Tech were touting it to be a 540 watt motor ( 48 v at 15 amps @ 75% efficiency = 540 watts). So is this the same motor or is the Puma a whole new breed?
Thanks guys,
Tom
