Yes, the motor is what I'm worried about the most, being out of the passenger compartment and between the MC swing arms. I have considered making a housing to surround air cooled motors, with a fan to provide forced cooling air to the, which is starting to get on the complicated side. Another option is a motor which is water cooled, complicated again, needing a radiator, but since the Li-ion battery pack I'm looking at requires cooling also, perhaps they could be on the same system. Radiator-pump- battery- motor- radiator?
