Curious to know if anyone has heard about the YASA or Ecomove hub motors. Haven't been able to find much on the YASA but the numbers reported for the Ecomove don't look bad from my limited understanding. 40kw peak/24.5kw continuous, 361 ft/lb torque in a 46.5 lb package? Sounds good. Going by a formula I was given of ~7hp per 1000lbs of vehicle needed for decent performance (more if hilly terrain expected), these look like a possibility. Assuming this is all true what am I missing? Controllers and price not being factored for this question.
I'm truly curious. In hub motors would clear up SOOO much room for batteries for the project I would like to do, a 33-34 Ford Tudor Sedan. All I have to work with is the engine compartment, the old classics didn't have a trunk in those days.
I would really appreciate input from the more in the know.
