Hi, I’m working on building an slow moving high torque EV that has 24V BLDC motors on each wheel but I can’t seem to find any that come close to what I need. I’m hoping with everyones experience you might be able to help me out.

Here are the specs:  
350lb load on each wheel  
24V  
Torque = At least 65Nm  
Power = .25HP or 180 watts  
Speed = 1ft per sec  
Tire - 10" diameter but that could change if need be. Golf cart size

This could be a pancake motor or, even better, a hub motor. All of the wheels would be direct drive and use a mono shaft.

If you could help me out I would be very happy 🙂  
Thanks,  
Dan
