Title: Need help regarding horsepower selection for my electric motorcycle
Post by: rvsprasannakumar on April 09, 2017, 01:39:07 AM

Hello
I am looking for detailed parameters and the process for selecting specific horsepower of a motor

my requirement is 0-60kms under 4 seconds
                          0-100kms under 10 seconds

top speed 140 kms
rear tyre size 130/70-17

weight 350kgs max including riders weight
 you can give your own gear ratios and torque specifications

if at all any information is missing have your own numbers there but i'm looking for each and every calculation behind the selection of specifications of a electric motorcycle in a layman's terms.

Thanks & regards

Good thing electric motors have a lot of torque, from the back of my head I guess 30-ish kW should be plenty.

Horsepower is a measure for a ICE, right? Good have to look at torque, the spec sheets for Zeros have them posted.
