Wanting to convert 95 hyundai accent 2dr. Found a motor I'm wanting to use, specs are:

D&D 170-501-0001a
48v
13.5hp
19 spline shaft

I'm wanting 60mph cruising speed and 30-50 mile range out of 100ah lifepo4 pack. Maybe 72v system or higher, not sure tell me what you guys think!

Hi Jake,

It sounds like an over rated golf cart motor. Got a picture of it?

I think all D&D motors are 6.7 inch diameter. Even their biggest model at higher voltage is often marginal for a car at high speed. Spend some time looking around the site here, in the "garage" and the EValbum. Even use the search function at the top of the page. I think you'll find most use a larger motor and higher voltage.
