I picked up a (supposedly) slightly used ME-0709 electric motor
It's for a powerful, off-road capable kart (I told ya 'all Challenge Accepted
It's rated @ 8hp (or 19hp peak)
...so, it should be able to "kick" most Predator's azz(es)
It seems to weight about the same as a 6.5 Predator
...but, has waaaaaaay more continuous horse power
...& the peak hp is almost (3) times higher
Product Description
The ME0709 (ME1908) is a Brush-type Permanent Magnet DC motor. Light weight, high efficiency design. Designed for 24-72 VDC battery operated equipment. Capable of 300 amps peak and 125 amps continuous. Totally open, fan cooled motor. Similar in performance to the Perm-motor 132 and the Lemco or Lynch LEM-200 motors.
Specifications
Power: 8 cont-- 19 pk hp
Voltage: 72 Volt rated
Speed: 3700 rpm @ 72v unloaded
Size: 8" OD, 6.5" long (w/o shaft)
Shaft: 7/8"x 1-3/4", 3/16" key
Weight: 36 lbs.
Ima thinkin', Ima gonna power it with (3) 24V 50AH modules from a 2014 Chevy Volt
...& now, I'm lookin' for recommendations on a 72V speed controller, to control it
It came with an old 48V Altraxx controller
...but, I wanna run 'er @ 72V
...so, Ima probably lookin' for a Kelly controller
Ima thinkin' the KDZ 72401 (~$300.00) should do the trick

It's a bit "over sized/rated" (400A peak for a 300A peak motor)
...so, it should never have ta work hard (it's better to work smarter than, harder)
