Big Rob Regular Registered: March 2005	Re: Electric cars.... Mon, 12 December 2005 13:14 why not remove all the wight of the motor, and room and put the motor straight onto the input shaft of the gearbox. A;so i would reccomend going for something like AC brushless mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Especially if you can find a speed controller that is capable of regen etc. I think one of the reasons that most manufactures go for hub motors as other already commercially available motors dont have quite enoguh power for a car but 4/2 will. Also then you can ditch all the weight of the driveline. There is no need for a diff and since electric motors generally dont need gearboxs you wont need that either. I think you will also have to look at how your going to charge all the batteries in this beast, it could take days.... A mate and i have plans for an electric powered lazy boy chair of some concoction. Plan keeps on changing, especially when the drive line is considered. I think the ieda at the moment was to use some Briggs and Stratton motors commonly found in some electric motor cycles and two speed controllers. At 48v and a large bank of batteries with large copper rods keeping the amps flowing. I tihnk this thing is planed to have like max 14kw or something haha, in a reclining chair. Good luck [Report message to a moderator]
