This is my first post, so first of all hello!
I have started a project to design and build a kart to comply with the FIA alternative energy cup (http://www.kartelec.com/f/comp/en_fia.htm)
We're currently working on a 3d model of the kart and the power supply with will be from a single DC electric motor. I am not an electrical engineer so I'm struggling a bit here.
I need something in the range of nominal power 30 kW and peak power 34 kW (this is the best outcome possible, but 20 and 24 may be ok for initial stage).
I have heard magnetti marelli do a DC motor in this range but I cannot find for the life of me any DC motor even close to this!
We have a sponsor on the project and our budget is around £5000. I am expecting these things to not be cheap, but not to not find them at all!
Anyone come across anything similar to this or know where they can be sourced in UK?
Many thanks in advance
