I'm trying to find a single shaft hub motor in the 20 to 30 kW range. Elaphe doesn't sell retail, neither does Protean, YASA is ridiculously expensive and way too much power. The only other I found was QS motor, but the largest single shaft hub motor they sell is only rated at 12/24KW. That would work ok, but performance would be pretty anemic.

Does anyone know of any other single shaft hub motors that are selling retail?

electric motors are always described by their max watt output, so the QS motor at 24kw is right in the range you're looking for. Do 4 of those and you're almost up to 100kw

Those are Chinese watts, so divide by two to get metric.

it's a three wheel barrel, so only the rear wheel is getting the motor.

That's supposed to be three wheel SPARROW

It's rated at 12 KW… 24 is max.

So why are you thinking hub motor vs the belt they use?

YASA doesn't make hub motors. They make axial-flux electric motors which are not suited for automotive use without reduction gearing.

I stand corrected.

I tried the link twice, and it appears the site is down, at least for now.
