I'm considering a few new builds. One of them is a 20" wheel hub motor build. The top speed should be somewhere between 28 and 32mph, with lots of torque. I'd be using an aftermarket controller, most likely one of the ASI BAC's. And I'd likely use a high-C 21700 battery pack capable of 45amps continuous, with at least 48v, more than likely 52v if the motor can handle it. So I should be able to squeeze every last bit of performance out of any motor I use. The problem is that I also need the motor itself to be less than 5lbs. What's the best option out there? Is there a hub motor that can give me that kind of performance at such a light weight? I've been searching the forums here and have yet to find an answer to this question. But if it's already been answered here, please drop me some links. Thanks y'all!
