It has been some time since the last post on this motor (ME1002).
(Now being done, i believe, my Motenergy) - (Old MARS.)-
Has anyone actually used this motor and built or converted with it?
It looks good (although a bit heavy at 203 pounds). -
The competition (i believe, for my purposes, are the Warp 9 and the FB1 4001, both of which seem to be tried and true). (?) -
Any input here?

Thanks,
Gary B.

=====================================
Good luck with your company.
I just bought the ME1002 from Motenergy and expect delivery next week.
Although i have some electronics experience i'm a real EV newbie.
Right now, i'm going through the difficulty of deciding whether or not to make an initial test with it directly to a 12v supply. - I'm leaning towards NOT doing that. - I believe the motor resistance is too low to get away with that. - Flying sparks bother me. So, i will probably use phase one of the controller i plan on designing. - (Based on samples i've collected, like the Cougar and Paul and Sabrina's device. - I'm going very slowly here, step by step. - It's a fun learning experience.
