What motor and controller, dirtbike 60KW plus

Interesting project idea. Out of my league so no advice from me. But I hope you'll make this into a build thread we can follow.
I do think just buying a Stark Varg will turn out to be cheaper and better in most ways except for the joy of building it yourself.

go with the biggest / most powerful motor possible , the 180 seems like the right idea.. You can always run less power but if the motor is the chokepoint youre basically screwed.

After thinking it over for a few weeks, I’ve decided to build an electric dirt bike. Right now, I’m researching controllers, as I want the performance to match that of a Stark VARG. I’ve seen a few different motors and controllers, but I’m having trouble choosing — especially with understanding the specifications of the Fardriver controllers. The kW ratings don’t always seem to match what’s listed, or maybe I’m misunderstanding something?


I’m aiming for over 65kW of peak performance, so if anyone has suggestions, I’d love to hear them. I’ve been considering the Votol 550 controller or one from Fardriver. For motors, I’ve been looking at the TM50 or 180QS. If anyone has experience or recommendations for this type of build, I’d really appreciate the input!

Look at the MOXIN controllers, FarDriver, and especially the Votol and Kelly controllers; these are controllers from the last century.

Всем привет! Hello everyone, well, Stark warg uses an IGBT module, well, the motor on the resolver , the whole structure rests on the motor, if you use a lot of space, I would use a high-voltage IGBT-based module for the controller. ,

ЖурналыThe logic for control would be used by an openinverter or Lebowski , nothing can be achieved at low voltages , the voltage in Stark warg is 400v

So is that you have a more or less unlimited budget or is that I'm never going to actually build this thing so it doesn't matter. My point is having some vague idea before you start picking parts with reckless abandon to how much it will cost, you could easily end up spending more than a Varg.

Just feels like one of those project ideas I've seen a lot, big ideas with no precise goals that in the end is just all planning and never goes anywhere.

perfect prediction
