I've been drooling over model 200 forever!

EDIT: They don't have a 160 frame option, and they state the weight is due to the copper core.

You have been busy! Thanks for the info, it will be interesting to see what results James comes back with from SEW.
If you are interested, when you are ordering anything along these lines, I could be interested in shipping stuff together and there may be some discounts for ordering two.

Sounds like a plan At this stage though, the ABB motor falls within my budget, so unless the SEW option gets cheaper, and the spec is better, that is the way I will go.

Hi Karlos,

Sorry, I have had to order quickly via the Christchurch branch to meet a shipping deadline from Italy. You should be able to order via your local ABB dealer, they seem quite accommodating, especially for a cash deal ;-)

No worries, I'm waiting to see what James gets back regarding the SEW 160 as for the conversion I want to do, I feel I need the 160 frame motor.

I was hoping that SeanECE would respond to this, but since he hasn't for some weeks, I'll add a short note here.

In email to me, he noted disappointing top speed for a superbike using an IPM (Interior Permanent Magnet) motor. IPM motors are a bit different to the usual induction or BLDC motors that most users would be using, and most users would not be disappointed with a 108 MPH top speed. (Of course, for a superbike, it is pretty bad.) SeanECE needed immediate answers, since they were hoping to break records at a race that weekend. Now that the race is over, they have time to diagnose the problem. There are a number of things that I believe they are going to try.

So this is a rather special case, which is not relevant to the vast majority of users.
