Has anyone seen a Nissan Leaf yet?

You can get motors wired for higher speed and less torque, but they would draw more amps at speed.

Less pairs of poles will give more speed and less torque. What sort of motor is it?

Well it is rated for 1kw, but there is usually a much higher limit to what motors can handle, sometimes in current or voltage, on take off and climbing steep hills it can pull 40 amps, or 15-18 amps on the flats once up to speed. It is very efficient at 48-52 volts.

The t-rex 600 i fly sometimes, (rc chopper) outputs about a kw when just hovering. Some power in it.

It's a hub motor built into the wheel. It's a golden motor magic pie, external controller option. I use an infineon 40 amp controller.

Some people use R.C motors to drive the chain which can be efficient because you can use the bikes gears, but they are noisy and can chew derialleurs and sprockets

The batteries make such a difference, and at the rate batteries are changing, in around 5 years or less I will be able to buy a battery half the size!

Yes even the batteries today are great, here is my youtube channel with the electric rc stuff on it. The t-rex 600 has a 5 amp hour 24 volt battery in it. Just click "see all" under the 3 thumbnails on the left. List there of videos.

That's cool stuff!!! I thought the plane vid was really cool, I liked it gliding b ack down. How high up did it go?

Those batteries have some cool specs too!

Isn't it a pity hobbies are expensive?
