Hub motors for stand-up e-scooter

[mailer]

Hello!

I'm looking for small hub motor for my first project of standing e-scooter. I already have an idea what I want to build.

I need 'small' brushless hub motor with power from 500W to around 1000W and voltage from 24V to 48V. I think the best voltage will be 36V or 48V.
It shoud be god quality and efficiency as high as possible for a reasonable price. I will use current limiter to limit power to 80% or 800W if use 1000W motor to prevent overheating or too small range.
If I want geared or non geared hub motor I don't know yet but all opinios are welcom. Regenerative breaking is just a plus and silence is also important.

Of course the baterry (10s, 13s,...) will depend of the motor voltage. The wheels will be bigger as "usual" 5 inch but not bigger than 10inch with rubber tyre.
A lot of things depends of which motor I will use. The speed I want to achieve is at least 25km/h but no more than 50km/h.

This are motors I found on internet. If you have any suggestions please post some links:

I know Crystalite which are one of the best hub motors for e-bikes but unfortunaly I need smaller one.

I like the idea of putting a skate truck with hub motors on the rear of a razor. Cheap and most razors have a deck u can stick batteries and esc inside.

Well, skateboard/longboard wheels are to small for bumpy roads and sidewalks. I want to build something similar to this picture below, just with bigger wheels.

A bike hub motor will not work for you. You will probably have a nightmare of a time fitting a tyre to it, and have to run it way over spec voltage for any decent speed. The hub motors are designed to turn a 26" wheel, so if you run 8" you are gearing it down by almost 5:1, so expect to need the voltage to be increased 5x to get a similar speed.

I can't recommend any brands, but there are (as you linked) a bunch of people in similar situations running scooters. Probably be best to go for one of those motors, or maybe complete scooters.

Try http://www.uumotor.com. They have hub motors from 4" to 16", many different models. They even have hub motors for e-skateboards.

Or just use an 80-100 outrunner and gear it to whatever you need to a sprocket on the back wheel. That's what I would do. I'm not really fond of hub motors. You can only change their performance with more or less voltage. An inrunner or outrunner can be geared too. IMHO...the only advantage a hub motor has is that it is inside the wheel. Other than that in/outrunners are superior in every way.

Have you seen the various small pneumatic wheeled scooters found on amazon? There's several that are 20-35 pounds, electric and are perfect for adaptation. Some even have hub motors.

True they are limited in that u can't change the gearing but if they've been chosen correctly for the person and vehicle its not an issue and there are a lot of benefits such as lighter, less maintenance, more efficient, quieter, not as liable to break, and easier to install.

Why waste time? Just buy the complete hub-motor scooter from uumotor.com, $360.

Life is short.

Location of what? I'm from Europe.

I checked uumotor page again.... Company is in China, right?

[torqueboards]

Most stand up e-scooters only put out 250-300W. I'd prefer either making a 16" eBike Hub Motor on a 2 wheel scooter and/or skateboard motors/pulleys dual 6355 or a single 6374/80mm motor on a scooter.

 

[Ianhill]

I agree with torqueboards on this to an extent the can motor will give good performance and reliability with some gearing options.
But the hub will be mote efficient but water penatration can be a problem they can rip their phase wires off if the wheel comes lose, bit more problematic.
