    Add sprocket to scooter hub motor?

    In order to have a very slow moving machine, if using a normal shaft motor a gear reduction of 100 to 1 or so might be in order. A hub motor would (under rated output) be turning a slower RPM. Also less noise is desired. The machine would be used for moving in a hunting environment. So...

    Polarity reversal, inverter or not, A/C or D/C, need info (sic; lessons)................

    Correct. AC has the current flowing one way, then the other, switching at a rate based on the AC frequency, normally 50 or 60hz.

    Add sprocket to scooter hub motor?

    I am considering a build to create a very slow moving ride for off road person transport. Speed range would be from slower than a walk to maybe running speed. I was wondering if a chain sprocket could be bolted to a motor hub like this one in place of the brake rotor/disk. The idea would be...
