Introduction:
I have been designing a large hub motor or outrunner motor for motorcycle applications for almost two years.
I have done most of the development in a open forum call Endless Sphere
http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7718
The motor is a true 10KW motor 30KW peak 3 phase WYE connected 24 pole Brushless motor
I not on this thread to sell anything as i didn't on the Sphere but to discuss design and application ideas for the motor.
I know the motor has application for cars and have sold a few for small cars already, those projects are just beginning.
For starters I prefer to use the motors inboard and retain a cars brake and supension system as much as possible by connecting to the front axles through the CV joints. Though one of my first car customers are going to use the motor as a wheel motor.
