    Hey guys,

    I would like to build the same system BS21 has but with a different motor.
    (Youtube: www.youtube.com/BSSimulator)

    Here is his quick overview video of his built:


    I have read that permanent magnet motors create less heat and will wear out less quickly. Thus i wanted to use a permanent magnet motor instead of a brushed motor.

    Either a 350w or 500w

    350w:
    DC 24V 350W 2700RPM Permanent Magnet Electric Motor Generator for Wind Turbine

    500w:
    500W 24V DC Electric Brush ZY1020 Motor For Scooter Ebike Go Kart DIY Project
    https://banggood.app.link/x4DisvNxWR

    Next to that i wanted to underdrive the motor. As these bigger motor can handle more heat to prevent burning it.

    But i am unsure if this is possible.

    I could use some advice!
    Thank you very much for reading :)

    Most motors use permanent magnets, i think you may be referring to brushed and brushless motors

    I dont think brushed motors are a problem for a DD wheel because it does not do many revolutions

    I would use the 500w motor you showed me as direct drive

    I am unsure how much torque that motor would provide and if the RPM is a problem. Do you have any recommendations on a good motor for DD and belt driven wheels?

    But i could do that with an encoder with and a belt to the DD shaft.

    I think a Brushless DC motor is the best option to use. It generates more torque and has a faster speed rational speed.
