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

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

It's rated at 12 KW… 24 is max.
