I am building a beach/fishing cart to help move everything from the parking lot to the waves. I already have the cart and a set of 48v geared hub drives motors that i am working on the controllers for. this will be a heavy cart (400# plus loaded) that requires low speed 3.5-4 mph for walking with. i would have rather run a chain drive system, bit clearance from a 13" tire chain drive in the sand limit that. current motors on hand are 600w 48v geared hub (5-1) 13" "wheelbarrow" motor/tires w/100nm torque. current max speed is around 8 mph (200rpm). i need to cut that in half to around 3.8-4 mph. would i be better served to run a 24v battery system or try to slow down the 48v system? i want to keep as much torque as possible to start the cart in soft sand. battery life is always an issue, but 1.5 miles is a max day for me
