does it need to be a DC motor or a 3 phase motor? if you could I would say to go with something like the Phoenix racer from ElectricRider.com it's a 72v 3 phase hub motor that can handle I think up to 40 amps so close to 3,000 amps, or plenty of power for your needs, I have one on my electric bicycle running at 33 volts and am very happy with it.
I really appreciate everyone's advice. I called ElectricRider.com and the guy on the phone said they only have motors for bicycles and Currie Scooters. they don't have motors for bigger scooters like the XB-600. I mentioned the phoenix racer and her said it was a high performance motor for bicycles, so I dont think a spoke motor will fit into my alum wheels. The search continues, but please keep the suggestions coming!
