how many of the M1 motors are you planning on using? cos i doubt just one would give enough power to hit 130mph.
I couldn't agree more. One M1 motor isn't likely going to be enough.... you're going to need a more powerful motor to hit 130+.... and from what I know, not many bikes even hit the 130mph mark.... mainly due to limitations of battery and motor power.... which is because there's just not that much room on a bike. Start looking at BLDC motors like Remy, UQM, Calmotors etc. You need a power dense motor, AC Induction motors give a good amount of power, but you really need something that doesn't have to generate its own magnetic flux in the rotor.
and forget lifepo4, you're going to need something more energy and power dense, like Kokam (LiPo). Even the most dense lifepo4 won't cut it. You need to keep weight down, go lipo and prepare to spend some money doing it.
Sounds like you're coming from the gas world and see that electric bikes are cool, but don't have much of an idea of energy/power or the technology.... this isn't something you just choose some off the shelf stuff and throw it in a bike, its really a long term design project where you'll spend a good amount of money, lots of testing and a good amount of trial and error.
Even the Motoczysz bike, with 12.5kwh and a high power motor, couldn't do 40-50 miles on a track (they did a little over 37 around IOM and had 10% battery left) , and they reached 135-140mph as a top speed on the straights. It had a BLDC motor with Lipo in it.
