The Gen 2 eAssist is water-cooled and requires 100+ volts. The cooling and battery system for such a motor would be much more difficult to fit in an existing vehicle (especially the water cooling system.) One MIGHT be able to use PC water-cooling parts, but I'm not sure what the wattage-dissipated-as-heat figure is for that eAssist motor. No solid specs on current-draw or Kv ratings either = no-go IMO. One must know what kind of current a given electrical machine will draw before fitting it to a vehicle.
