Hi, new member here, have read quite a few threads here to know a dislike for hub motors, but I have an oddball build planned that hub motors would be far preferable for so wanted to see if anyone had any real experience with QS motors in hub motors?
http://www.cnqsmotor.com/en/article...version Kits, 2X8000W Hub Motor Kits/567.html
I see that a startup in Czech Republic is using them for an EV sports car, they're called Luka EV.
I'm in Canada but have an odd import from Japan, a 96' Subaru Domingo, microvan, and intend to convert it to EV, still probably 2 years down the road. Because they're AWD, and due to age and the fact they were never sold in North America parts are; hard to get, slow to get, and cost way more than they are worth, I am planning to take engine and trans out and go with 4 in hub motors. The engine in these little vans are only around 60HP, 900kg with engine/trans. 4 x 8000w hub motors (each 12.5kw continous rated and suited for 1150kg) is the plan at this point.
So, has anyone actually worked with their motors that can give any feedback?
