Hi,
First of all hello for everybody I'm new here.
Second, I hope I found the closest topic for my question... which is:
Would I be able to build a small electric scooter/commuter bike using a truck starter motor?
I made some calculations using equations and methods from another EV motorcycle builder and I'd need something like 2-3 kW continous power. (the speed I should go on the road to work is about 70 if I do not want to end up a grill-ornament on a truck. It's a an expressway nearly all the way to work, 13km. )
the truck starters I could get from local dismantlers are 24V 4-5-6 kW beasts.
Would a starter which is designed to provide huge torque for a short period be capable of giving me 1-2 kW continous power withouth overheating, melting the brushes, so on...?
Maybe with controlled field-current?
Thank you for the answer.
