What size motor would be the best for a dirt bike conversion?
Which controller?
And should I go AC or DC motor?
Basically I got an old Suzuki DRZ 450 dirt bike laying around for 10+ years.
Watched Top Gear and Matt LeBlanc was riding Alta motors in the woods.
The motors are 42HP and 50HP (from the website) with 120-135ft.lbs, which translates to 31-37kw - Can assume that is peak right?
So its really around 18kw cont, does that seem right?
