I'm wanting to start my first EV project. I'm wanting to build a very light trike to use for just roaming around the yard in. I was looking into a 1000w 36v my1020 electric scooter motor with a 40amp controller. I'm not looking for any speed at all just pulling power so I planned on at least a 72 tooth sprocket on a live axle with 10 inch wheels for torque. I guess my question is are these motors worth anything or would it be better to look into a brushless motor. Sorry just trying to make a cheap little project. Also would it e worth my while to step up to the 48 volt motor at all? I realize the higher the voltage the less amps it would draw but would it do anything for power? I had planned on using 18ah SLA batteries. Thanks for any input!!
