So I'm building an EV using the GS450H transmission. Whilst on the bench I wanted to do some experimenting with the input shaft that originally connected to the ICE.
The plan is to connect another motor to this and see if I can get the transmission to provide CVT to it and thus allow a greater gearing ratio and top speed.
I picked up 8 36V escooter hub motors for very cheap (£20) the other day, I only wanted 1 but he wouldn't sell just one so I took the lot.
I'm thinking they might not be quite up the task but figured I might do some experiments with them anyway and see how they do.
So, is there any simple way of combining them (just a couple not all 8!) into something more torquey? I'd planned on just mechanically coupling the armature and controlling them using one set of hall sensors, as I understand this should work ok it's more the easiest way of coupling them.
I have skimmed Farfles thread but that's a bit more involved and expensive than I'm willing to give to these things.
Anyway, any ideas?
The longer term plan is to use a HSG or Honda IMA motor for the job but before I buy one of those I figured I'd have a play with these.
