ok here is the deal.

I have a 2006 kx 450 frame that I got for free, and a tesla battery pack.
I am wanting to build a high performance electric dirt bike.


I am trying to decide what route to go


Option 1:

build a battery from the tesla cells, would be 72v 65ah. with 200amp discharge
fardriver controller
qs 138 motor

Option 2:

build 48v battery
use golf cart motor and controller.




I am a master level fabricator and an entire shop full of tools and machines, so building/modifying is not an issue.

I know most of you are gonna say go the qs138 route but there is like a $600 price difference between the cart motor.

What will efficiency be like with the cart motor?

any one done a cart motor swap before?



thanks
