From picture it seems that it will be for "captain slow"
P= 0,55kW
V= 48V
Are you going to change the windings?
If not, it is not suitable motor for that car. I guess it was designed for application like pump motor not traction motor.
Yop. It will roll if used with gearbox in first gear.
traction motor with power of 0,55kW could be compared to mule/small weak horse pulling the chassis.
Hi, Im from county Waterford and my son and I are considering an ev conversion. We are still at the stage of collecting parts, motors etc. We are looking at VW polos because they did not have power steering up to about 1998 and this would take some of the load off the dc/dc converter. Does your donor car have power steering?
Have you looked into the matter of registration of a home built ev?
I had a local machine shop turn the splines off the shaft , down to 19mm and keyed 6mm. Those motors have a high bar count so with some advance will run at higher voltages. 48v on the two nearly put me through the back wall of my workshop!
We have secured the motor to the mounting plate and have webbed welded supports on the back so hopefully it will hold it.
The controller is still unknown at the moment but will hopefully be sorted in the next week or two. Batteries are just going to be normal run of the mil car batteries as the budget is pretty tight and the car is not going to be going any kind of distance.
Well Done, my son and I have followed your project from the start. I believe you won the competition the project was entered into. Congratulations. the conversion looks super neat and professional.
We finally settled on a suitable vehicle for our own project here in County Waterford. We wanted as 4 seater car, light weight, with no power steering and no power assisted brakes. We have bought a 1988 Citroen 2cv. but we are going to have to restore it to good running order before conversion and that will take 6 months to a year. This will give us time to collect up all the bits we will need.
Thanks for that, keep us informed on your project.
