I'm advising a group competing in the Shell Ecomarathon competition (http://www.shell.com/energy-and-innovation/shell-ecomarathon/americas.html) . We previously powered our vehicle with a 36V, brushless DC hub motor designed for bicycles. The problem is Shell requires a motor controller custom designed and built by the students (even though you can buy these controller off the shelf for like $20). Because we're mainly a bunch of mechanical engineers, our attempts at designing and building that brushless controller have been.less than successful.
For this year, we want to use a 36V "brushed" dc motor to make this custom controller much easier. Ideally, a 36V brushed hub motor in the 500W-1,000W power range would be best as it would be nearly a drop in mechanical replacement. Problem is, we can't find such a motor. Does anyone have any suggestions of commercial motors that might fit that need? If not, we'll be switching to a brushed motor and a chain/sprocket drive.
