I was looking at this one(kellycontroller.com/hub-motor-48v3kw-high-torquedisc-brake-p-158.html) specifically, as it mentions high torque

also, can anyone tell me whether or not i'd have to have a 13" rim for this thing, or if it's just telling me that the damned thing is 13" in diameter? my stock tires are 14s that i plan on changing to 15s or 16s. definately dont wanna pick out a motor that puts me a step in the wrong direction.

Sorry about the absence of links... im a newb... T-T

You need to install the motor(s) and modify them in exactly the way Ripperton demonstrates and then they will be usuable on a lightweight vehicle

Never mind he is the only person I know of to find an automotive use for these scooter motors.

Good Luck
