My project is a light reverse trike and I have owned one with a 2008 'busa engine that was around 172HP. For a 700 lb trike that is almost enough power
A Warp 11 motor make 114 ft/lbs of torque at 1440 rpms (44 hp) drawing 1280 amps. I am mostly interested in extreme power , not so much with range. 30 to 50 miles would be great. I was thinking with a 2:1 direct drive that is 244 ft/ls available any time, and the HP numbers are not really that low if the motor is at 6000 rpms. Would the torque be the same at 6000 rpms? If yes tha is 329 HP but i think a dc motor loses torque as revs increase, to a point,
Is that too much motor, would a Warp 9 be better?
I am totally lost on how to choose the right battery voltage and discharge rate. I am assuming that the battery must be capable of delivering 1280 amps at least. Is that not the real determining factor on performance? How many amp hours would I need for 30 miles and four or five bursts of 10 seconds of full throttle?
I hope I have asked this question intelligently. I would like to know how to calculate the battery requirements for future conversion projects too. Would you buy an electric, tilting trike that looks something like a T-Rex Aero if the price could be kept around 35K? I wanted it at 25K but have no clear idea of the battery costs.
