Hi guys. I know this thread is oldish now, but I just have a question.

Would a 200W 24v electric scooter motor (max RPM at 24v is around 2750) be any good for an axe? All I know is the thing packs one heck of a punch with nothing attached, it's got some serious torque.

Sorry for hijacking, it's just it's probably better than making a whole new thread.

Thanks.

Sure, it has been done before, and it can be quite a good axe system if the connection between motor and axe is done properly (most of these systems I've seen use chain and sprocket).

Like this one:

Thanks, but isn't that a beefier motor than mine?

I have two, one 2750rpm one 2500... Both 200W and 24v.

Kashei uses 6 cells A123, so 19.8V nominal.
It's gear ratio is 20.25:1.

It's right above the video he posted
