Re: Aftermarket Motor Advice
I do not want to lose regen, range is probably the most important to me in the long run. Lithium Leaf conversion will be after the motor. If I can safely run 30 on 23’s that would be acceptable. Getting to 30 very quickly is what I am after. Range, acceleration with a min top speed of 30. Anything over 30 would be a bonus.

This should be posted somewhere easy for folks considering a motor upgrade to find so they can see the tested differences in speed between those popular motors. Might help narrow down the motor choice for others. |

Re: Aftermarket Motor Advice
While this information is great, it would really be nice to have "timing" numbers as well.
A lot of folks brag on their cart speed but the time frame is "eventually". There is a big difference between 0-25mph in 20 secs vs 0-30mph in 2 minutes. Maybe for your current motor and future tests You can add the time or distance before the reported speed was achieved. Some of the high torque motors appear to have low HP and take forever to develop high speed. |

Re: Aftermarket Motor Advice
You would have to be us to relate to these (and I sometimes forget that) as it is a "given" here; Since we are all (or were) street, bracket or NHRA racers, any testing we ever do, in any case, is always based on 1/4 mile.... (And prior to that distance, in each case, the RPM limiter was active at 6000)

Re: Aftermarket Motor Advice
Well, 1/4 mile = 440 yards, so I would never be able to reach top speed before having to slow for a turn in my neighborhood
It seems like it would be useful to know from a stand still position, what are the speeds after 50 yards and 100 yards. The top speed is nice to know but I personally would prefer to know what to expect from the acceleration perspective, I have seen to many posts where folks were disappointed with their new motor purchase because their expectation for the motor rated speed was not after several hundred feet. It was just an idea for what I think is a more relatable metric for most folks than torque, HP or eventual top speed. |

Aftermarket Motor Advice
Sergio you bring up a very good point. I’ve never timed mine or exactly measured the distance but I’d say I can get to 35 in about 100 yards, the last 5-7 mph to 42 does take about another 100 yards.
However, timing is more useful than distance as the distance traveled increases exponentially for every 1mph increase. I’ll have to get out a stopwatch and a gps that refreshes faster than my phone to get some measurements. EDIT: I also agree the info in this thread, or the thread itself should be a sticky. We almost need 2, one for 48v lead acid and one for lithium carts at 58v. |
