Thread: HW motor advise needed for school team.

  1. #1
    Hello. I'm working with a group of 8 kids at the school I teach at to build a HW for the next season. Lots of progress so far, but I'm struggling to know what drive motors to buy. We designed for NPC T64 motors, but with only £400 left they're out of the question. I've been looking at the electric bike motors below. They look cheap and pretty sketchy, but do you think they may work? 450W and 450RPM with 10" wheels, I made it just over 13mph. If they don't work could you make some suggestions??

    Thanks in advance. Dan

    Aftershock used 800watt scooters so i would take the 800w ones or if you are feeling adventurous i spied these motors when i hunting for a possible future upgrade for FW axe motor

    Give those 30V and 8" wheels and you have a very basic HW drive. Support the wheels from both sides tough.

    For heavyweight drive you really want to be looking at around the 750w plus mark. I'd look into the ebay scooter motors

    24/36v 800w Scooter Motors are the best choice I reckon. Failing that, I have more than enough wheelchair motors here if you need any
