Thanks for the input. I do have a thread over on elmoto, but I'm looking everywhere for advice
I haven't settled on a peak acceleration yet, but that's an input in one of the many models I'm cleaning up (should help me spec a motor). Minimum range would have to be 15 miles. I originally wanted to do a 48V system, but that's looking less and less likely. I want to do my own controls instead of buying a package, so AC is right out the window, it's way too much math.

Thanks for the reply. Budget isn't really a concern for me, I have contacts I can use to source parts for cheap. I'm pretty well versed in high power systems, but I slept through all of my electrical machines course, so I'm having a lot of trouble selecting a motor since I'm not sure where my parameters should be. The controls and power system I'm confident I can handle, but I'd need to select a motor first.

Hello folks, i'm thinking of gearing up for my first motorcycle project. The donor bik I'm planning on is a 2000 Buell M2 Cyclone. The curb weight is 434.3 lbs. What kind of motor should I spec? I'm not looking for much on range, 20 miles would be awesome. I do want to be able to got at freeway speeds though (as close to 70 mph as possible). AC for a motor would also be nice. Any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.
