Sigh.

I'm on the hunt for a new motor once again. I'm looking for something that is:

Between 650-1000W continuous
Geared for ~150-350 RPM in the efficient range
Able to be mounted via face screws
Sold with a bicycle chain sprocket (as opposed to #25, etc)
Not the unit from cyclone taiwan

Does anyone know if any such thing is sold?
 
Well, if you're willing to add a sprocket, how about:

No idea what the continuous verses intermittent ratings are, but looks like it would push a bike...

StokeMonkey, which is just a crystalye hub morot, but built to be run as a BB chain drive. They fit right in that 150-350 RPM range, and come with a standard bike chain sprocket.

Or you can just use a Crystalyte Hub motor, make your own bracket, and run it that way. It would be cheaper, but wouldn't come with the fancy red paint.

Or better still do the same thing with a Puma motor, which has the advantage of a freewheel so when you pedal you dont turn the motor, and the disk mounting on the other side can be fitted with a sprocket to drive the rear wheel..

You already know because of my email, but just to share it with the others you could get a Unite 1016Z3 or 1018Z which have the geardown in them and then trick out the motor with overvolting and some type of extra cooling. They are very lightweight and narrow too. And cheap.
 
The E-4 kit may fit your requirements.

It can put out 500-600W.

I think that one uses the same BMC motor as my Vego. With an external controller, it can go way WAY over 600 watts. :twisted:
