I can do a maximum speed of about 90 kph with it which is more than enough for around town.
Took me a bit to figure out which small motor that I was joking about, since I was just talking about a completely different "small" motor in my last post. But I eventually put 2 and 2 together and remembered my original post.

I'd love an ME1003. Good choice. Love the power to weight ratio. Not sure if it would handle what I need, though. Give it a tail shaft to input more power when necessary, and it would be great.

Found your build page. You photo links don't work, except the first handful, but it wasn't hard to figure out the proper links, one at a time...anyway, looks like you've had some fun along the way! Some of your musings parallel my own. Get much use out of it? Daily driver or not?
