I've been reading around and have come to the conclusion that it would be a waste to have access to a machine shop and not take advantage of it. So I've decided to take the plunge and make an attempt to fit an rc motor to my bike. I'm going to try to keep the reduction to a one stage, so I'm looking for the lowest kv motor I can find that would be able to keep me going at a steady 25-30 mph.. So basically I'm looking for a low kv, highly efficient motor to pair up with the hv110 thats coming in the mail. I've been looking at the Turnigy HXT 80-100-B because it's 130kv, but was wondering if such a powerful motor would run as efficiently as a smaller motor that is being pushed harder. What I'm looking for is the most effiecient way to cruise at 25-30 mph, acceleration is not quite as important as efficiency. oh, one more parameter: inexpensive is preferable!
