Default open source hub motor/wheel motor

Hi All,
There was another thread where we have discussed the need for an open source wheel motor. The wheel motors that are currently in the media are not available to the public unless you want to spend obscene amounts of money, if even then. So I think it would be great for all of us to collaborate on creating an open source set of plans to enable EVers to create their own wheel motors.

So lets start the show:

1) We need a list of objectives to meet with our wheel motor.

2) We need sources for raw materials and components.

3) We also need to find or design controllers to run our wheel motor.

So please offer links and expertise to accomplish this.

I personally think we need a brushless motor, and it needs to put out at least 40kW of power. It also needs regenerative capability, and if possible I would like to do away with friction brakes entirely.

Let the creativity begin!

:-D
